Teacher shoots dead 6 colleagues in Saudi Arabia
Authorities so far are treating the attack in the Jizan region as criminal and the attacker has been arrested
A teacher has shot dead six colleagues in south of Saudi Arabia, state television said on Thursday, with speculation that the man had issues with the principle.
Authorities so far are treating the attack, which took place in the Jizan region, as criminal and the attacker has been arrested, Saudi Interior Ministry spokesman General Mansour Turki said.

He said two people had also been wounded.
The station reported the shooting Thursday in a post on Twitter. It posted a still photograph that showed ambulances gathered outside of a building in Jazan province.
It did not offer a motive for the shooting.
