Gunman In Saudi Arabia Kills American Defense Contractor
WaPo, 14 Oct 2014

A gunman in Saudi Arabia opened fire Tuesday on three American defense contractors, killing one and wounding another before being arrested after a shootout with police, U.S. and Saudi officials said.

The Saudi Interior Ministry named the suspect as Abdulaziz Fahad Abdulaziz Alrashid, 24, a dual U.S.-Saudi citizen born in Washington state.

Despite initial fears that the incident might have been terrorism related, the ministry statement indicated that the shooting stemmed from a workplace dispute.

"Work Place dispute" we have heard that before.

An American citizen killed while in the middle east! That's a surprise........

Workplace violence is a real probability in this case, especially in light of the culture. Given the murder and attempted murder, wonder how the Saudis will treat the preceding drug charges? They're not noted for looking the other way when ordinary citizens are involved. The dual citizenship aspect is interesting. Makes me wonder if the DoS will try to keep him from getting his head lopped off.

Bottom Line - I think concealed carry is a prudent choice every responsible adult should carefully consider.
