A teacher has shot dead at least six colleagues in Saudi Arabia's southern Jazan province, officials have said.
The attacker has been arrested, a Saudi interior ministry spokesman was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying. Two other people have been wounded.
No motive has been given for the attack, and authorities are treating it as a criminal act, the official said.
Mass shootings are rare in Saudi Arabia but it has faced recent attacks by the so-called Islamic State.
Saudi Arabia has led an air campaign against Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen and violence in the border region has been frequent in recent months.
Police have cordoned off the office compound, local media reported.
