Gunmen opened fire at or inside a church in Jordan, killing seven people, according to reports from The Hindu, Times of India and Al Jazeera. The Hindu reported that 28 people were injured.

The exact church and locality were not identified in the supplied evidence. The Hindu reported that an eyewitness told Jordan’s state broadcaster Al-Mamlaka that a vehicle carrying the gunmen arrived, that they fired continuously for about five minutes and then fled.

Al Jazeera reported that survivors described two masked gunmen shooting as dozens of people attended a funeral procession. The account differs in specificity from The Hindu’s reference to gunmen arriving in a vehicle, but both reports describe a shooting at a church in Jordan.

The seven deaths were reported by all three supplied outlets, while the figure of 28 injured comes from The Hindu and is not independently confirmed by the other provided reports. The supplied evidence does not independently establish the incident date.
