The personal bodyguard of the Saudi King was shot dead in "a personal dispute," according to news reports.
Major General Abdulaziz al-Fagham was visiting his friend at his home in Jeddah when a mutual friend called Mamdouh al-Ali entered the residence, according to police.
As the conversation between Fagham and Ali escalated, the police said, Ali left the home and came back carrying a gun and fired at Fagham.
The brother of the house's owner and a Filipino worker were also injured.
The shooter was then killed by police during a standoff that left five security force members wounded, according to the police statement.
Fagham was taken to hospital but later died as a result of his wounds.
