Abdulaziz Fahad Abdulaziz Alrashid, 24, the alleged shooter who authorities say was wounded in a gunfight with security forces, is a US-born Saudi who had been fired from US defence contractor Vinnell Arabia, an interior ministry spokesman said in a statement late Tuesday.
The dead American and another US national who was wounded also worked for Vinnell Arabia, which trains the Saudi Arabian National Guard, the spokesman said.
“The security services have no proof that [the killer] had prior links with extremist organisations,” he said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.

The two were at a gas station in Riyadh when a gunman opened fire on their car, the country's official news agency reported, citing police in the city.
The Saudi Embassy in the United States identified the suspected gunman as Abdulaziz Fahad Abdulaziz Alrashid, 24, a dual Saudi-American citizen who had worked at the same U.S. defense contractor as the victims.
He was recently dismissed from the job "due to drug related issues," the Embassy said.
