A Jordanian policeman opened fire on Monday on foreign trainers at a police compound, killing two Americans and a South African before being shot dead, the Government spokesman said.
The shooter also wounded two Americans and four Jordanians, one of them critically, said the spokesman, Moham-med Momani. The motive was not immediately clear.
Momani described the shooter as an “attacker” and said he committed a “crime,” but did not say whether authorities considered the fatal shooting a terror attack.
The shooting, at a police training camp on the outskirts of the Jordanian capital, raises questions about Jordan’s image as an island of relative stability in a turbulent region.
