Gunmen kill at least nine at church funeral in Jordan

Gunmen shot and killed at least nine people at a church funeral in Jordan on Friday. The attack happened at St. George's Greek Orthodox Church in Hammoud, a village about 55 miles south of Amman. Mourners were gathered in the courtyard when the gunmen arrived and opened fire. Surveillance cameras showed at least three attackers, and witnesses say a fourth person may have driven the group to the church. Around 40 people were wounded. Jordanian authorities called it a terrorist attack by extremists, though they have not named any group. King Abdullah II visited survivors in hospital and promised to find those responsible. Jordan has declared three days of national mourning. Christians are a minority in the Karak region, and officials described the attack as rare.
