A shooter has opened fire at a school in Saudi Arabia, but thankfully no students were present thanks to school holidays.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US\u00a0Mission in Saudi Arabia tweeted the information on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The school, Kingdom School in Riyadh is a private school, owned by Kingdom Holdings – the company of Saudi billionaire,\u00a0Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal.<\/p>\n

Reports that two adults have been killed have been shared on Saudi media, but it’s currently unconfirmed by official sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Current information suggests the shooter was an ex-teacher at the school.<\/p>\n
