(CNN)The bodyguard of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud has been shot dead by a friend in the coastal city of Jeddah following an argument, police said according to state media.
Royal Guard Major General Abdul-Aziz Al-Faghm was a familiar figure in the kingdom and often seen in photos alongside King Salman at home and on official trips abroad.
Al-Faghm was visiting a friend in the city’s Shate’ district Saturday when he got into a dispute with another friend Mamdouh bin Meshaal bin Ali.
