The personal bodyguard of Saudi Arabia's King Salman was shot and killed, state TV reported Sunday, in what authorities described as a personal dispute.

It said he was killed in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah, where the government relocates for the summer months.Hours later, the state-run Saudi Press Agency said the dispute saw a friend of al-Fagham shoot and kill him, as well as wound another Saudi and a Filipino worker there.

A gunfight erupted as security forces responded to the home that saw the shooter killed and five members of the security forces wounded, the news agency reported. Officials in the kingdom did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. Gun crimes are rare in Saudi Arabia, where strict Islamic law sees convicted killers and drug smugglers routinely executed. In 2017, there were 419 reported homicides, according to the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime.
