Jordan Policeman Kills 5, Including 2 Americans; Attacker Shot Dead, Also Wounded Seven People

A Jordanian police officer opened fire today (November 9, 2015) at a regional police training center in the Jordanian capital of Amman, killing two Americans, two Jordanians, and a South African before being shot dead, the Yahoo News website reports.

The attacker also wounded seven people, including two Americans, Jordanian government spokesman Mohammed Momani said.

He added authorities are investigating whether the attacker's motive was personal or political.

Jordan -- a close U.S. ally that has a peace treaty with Israel -- has long been seen as an island of relative stability in a turbulent Middle East.
