Authorities in Jordan say that gunmen have opened fire during a funeral at a church in Jordan and killed seven people and wounded 40 others. The shooting took place at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak, which is located about 55 miles south of the capital, Amman. Images being broadcast on Jordanian state television show two gunmen who appear to be holding pistols approaching the church and firing shots. A third man who appears to be holding a semiautomatic rifle then appears and opens fire and all three then run toward the church. A government statement said that the attack was “carried out by unknown assailants” but didn't say whether any gunmen were captured or killed.
