After being failed by his teacher, a university undergraduate in Saudi Arabia has shot his Jordanian teacher.
The student, reportedly failed the orientation exam in preparatory English, which is part of the enrolment requirements of the university in the northern Saudi city of Ha’il.
Consequently, he had to take the course again, with the same teacher, but apparently, he had other ideas.
According to local daily ‘Al Eqtisdaiya’ , on the first day of the semester, the student hid a gun in his clothes and brought it to class.
Minutes into lecture, the unidentified student stood up and fired three shots at the teacher.
Luckily for the teacher, the student was a bad shot, as the first bullet hit the teacher’s belt while the other two struck the wall, after which the student fled from the conference hall and ran towards a waiting car in front of the university.
However, students took down the number of the getaway car and reported it to the security staff who rushed to the scene. Surprisingly, the student gave himself up to the police an hour later.
The university has confirmed the incident, releasing a statement. It stated that the incident happened on Tuesday, 2 September at 10.30am inside the building for preparatory courses given ahead of the formal admission.
“The student fired three shots from a gun he had concealed in his clothes,” the university said. “The teacher was not injured and was able to hide in another place. The student escaped in a car that belonged to one of his friends.”
“The attack was promptly condemned by social network users, saying that it was “dangerous and ridiculous.”
