Described as 'The Keeper of Kings,' a prominent bodyguard to Saudi Arabia's king has been shot and killed in what's being called a personal dispute. State TV reports the shooter was killed in a gunfight with security forces.

FILE - In this May 30, 2019, file photo, Saudi King Salman chairs an emergency summit of Gulf Arab leaders in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Saudi state television is reporting that a prominent bodyguard to King Salman has been shot and killed in what authorities describe as a personal dispute.

Tributes poured in across social media for Maj. Gen. Abdulaziz al-Fagham, with many including images of the bodyguard at work. One included him bending down to apparently help tie the shoes of King Salman, the 83-year-old ruler of the oil-rich kingdom. “Maj. Gen. Abdulaziz al-Fagham, bodyguard of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, was shot dead following a personal dispute in Jiddah,” the tweet read.

The kushners better be careful with the Saudis, they turn on their own.

skyred1970 Translation: There was an attempted murder on a Saudi Royal family member by one of their own body guards. Assassin was neutralized. My own speculation based on sketchy AP report.

Another Bone Saw classic...

Sorry to this man

I guess no one wanted the UAE's Keeper of Kings to know their secrets so they shot him. Nice.

cryborg Whoa!

Is this Hearsay or 1st Hand information

Roughnecks have unorthodox ways of dealing with 'personal dispute'. Let's respect their codes of conduct.

They were arguing over 100 Ryal

KingSalman Please release the innocent scholars you incarcerated and let’s have peace in the land of the holy prophet. Don’t repeat the disaster of al-Hajjaj bn Yusuf. Oppressing scholars brings doom to a people

Bullshit the killing in this kingdom is in their blood. I think he was assasinated by the king son and UAE intelligence

Most unfortunate Incident. Y'all mind your own business!

This is gang violence X 1000 at the top of Saudi society. Let em.

Murder-again?

May he Rest In Peace

Similar to the Russian retirement plan. Too much first hand knowledge of the wrong things

Mohammad Bin Salman strikes again? Is the King next?

Something about a goat, infidelity , and a burka. Not sure exactly what it all about ? The reason was convoluted .

RIP 💔🙏🏼

*o*

Sending our sincere condolences to his family, friends and Saudi Arabia's king. Your killer was killed. Justice was served.

Some people don’t go under that bus willingly..

Yep *exhales smoke* sounds like a dispute all right

As realDonaldTrump would say ... 'savages'. Did they saw the bodyguard's body into pieces for disposal out the back door, or is that reserved for American journalists murdered by Saudis?

🤔

Sounds like an unfortunate 'accident'

Sure we believe it JKhashoggi.

Rest In Peace AbdulazizAlfaghm

His brother confirmed it.

Sure. 😉
