QURAYYAT – Two young men aged 25 and 27 years were shot dead by another man who fled the scene, Al-Jouf region police spokesman Brig. Daman Al-Daran said. Both victims were shot at close range. One of them died on the spot while the other died later at hospital. A team of investigators and police officers was formed to chase the shooter, who was identified by the police, and bring him to justice. Officers had to close all of the Qurayyat General Hospital's gates to prevent a large crowd of people, the majority of them curious citizens, from entering the hospital complex. Two patrol vehicles were dispatched to the shooter's house in case he appears there.
