RIYADH — A judge was shot and wounded as he stepped out a mosque in Al-Kharj on Tuesday.

Judge Fahd Al-Judou had left his office to perform Dhuhr prayer in a mosque only 100 meters away from the court.

As the judge came out of the mosque after performing the prayer, an elderly Saudi shot him with a gun. The bullet hit his left shoulder. Colleagues who witnessed the attack rushed Al-Judou to King Khalid Hospital in Al-Kharj.

The judge was reported to be in good health and his injury was not severe. Police arrested the gunman, but his motive for the attack was unclear.
