AT LEAST SIX PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND A FURTHER 28 INJURED AFTER TWO GUNMEN OPENED FIRE AT A FUNERAL IN JORDAN.
State media said the gunmen got out of a vehicle and started shooting during a funeral procession at the Hammoud church in Karak, situated around 110 miles south of the capital Amman. The "unidentified" gunmen are currently being pursued, the security agency has confirmed. There has been no immediate claim of responsibility.
Jordanian authorities have also not confirmed who was responsible or the motives, though Government officials have described the attack as a "terrorist crime". Jordan’s government spokesperson Mohammad Al-Momani wrote on social media: "Security forces are following up on an incident of gunfire in Karak Governorate."
He added: "We call on everyone to give space to the security forces to take the necessary measures and to obtain information from its official sources."
