A gunman riding on the back of a motorcycle shot to death an American teacher in the city of Taiz, Yemen, on Sunday, a high-ranking government official there told NBC News.
The official said the teacher, an adviser at a Swedish-affiliated institute, died immediately after he was struck by gunfire Sunday morning. Taiz is about 50 miles south of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.
Officials from the institute identified the victim as Joel Shrun and said he was born in 1983.
However, a U.S. State Department official later told NBC News it had not yet been able to confirm the victim's nationality. The official said the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa was working with Yemeni authorities to obtain additional information.

What is an American teacher doing there in the first place? I wish no harm to any American attempting to “help others”, but this is not, has not and never will be a place for Americans.
Well? She shouldn’t have been there.
I would not go there for one simple reason....YOU MIGHT GET KILLED!
What a fool.
If you’re willing to take the chance, you’d better be willing to suffer the consequences. Those places are s**t holes. You’ve gotta be a little touched in the head to go over there. JMHO
