Citizen shot trying to storm govt building
2015-01-23
[ARABNEWS] Security officers shot and injured a 40-year-old Saudi man trying to storm a building housing security agencies in Madinah on Thursday morning.

Col. Fahd Al-Ghanam, front man of the Madinah Police Department, said the man ignored several checkpoints as he drove his car onto the grounds of the building on the Madinah-Tabuk road.

Al-Ghanam said the man also ignored warning shots fired by security officers at the checkpoint. This forced officers to shoot at his tires. When he still did not stop, they shot up him.

He has now been transferred to a hospital after receiving "urgent medical treatment" by the Red Islamic Thingy.

The security authorities in Madinah have launched an investigation into the incident. Al-Ghanam was not available for further comment at the time of going to press.
