An Arab expat professor narrowly escaped death when a college student at Hail University shot at him following a dispute. No one was hurt in the shooting.

I wonder what the response time is for the police there? Actually there are several factors probably involved. First, how long it takes somebody who can speak Arabic, perhaps somebody in the office, to contact the police "We will get right to it, Inshallah". Second how long it takes the dispatch board to give out the call to the police. And last but not least, Whether or not the police are at prayer of want to get around to investigating the incident.

As for the perpetrator, in a welfare state like Saudi Arabia it's vital to get those better paying "sit in" jobs in offices and at construction sites. You must be able to get the teacher to give you a high grade for being in the class even though you were asleep, talking with other students, or drafting up lists for other students to sign complaining about the teacher etc. If a high grade is not available the student may be stuck depending on his and the other family member's welfare checks from the King, permanently.
