Seven people killed and 34 injured in Jordanian church shooting, with attackers still at large. The attack targeted a Christian minority during a funeral in Karak governorate.
Gunmen opened fire at a Greek Orthodox church during a funeral, with witnesses reporting gunfire lasting minutes. Video evidence shows three attackers hiding behind trees and a wall before running toward the church.
Jordan's King Abdullah vowed harsh retaliation against the attackers, calling the attack a 'terrorist act' that will be met with 'harshest penalties'. Authorities say the perpetrators are 'extremists' with no known ties to militant groups.
The attack follows a 2016 incident in Karak where gunmen killed 10 people, including seven officers, in a similar assault on a Crusader castle.
