Gunmen opened fire during a funeral at a Greek Orthodox church in Jordan's Karak governorate on Friday, killing several people and wounding dozens, according to the country's Public Security Directorate^1,2,3.

The directorate said assailants entered the church compound in the village of Hamoud, also spelled Hammoud, before shooting^1,3.

CBS News, using Associated Press material, reported at least seven dead and said two assailants stormed the compound¹.

An earlier Reuters dispatch carried by Al-Monitor put the toll at six killed and 28 injured and said state television reported security forces had deployed and were pursuing suspects².

The National later cited the directorate as saying seven were killed and 34 wounded, and reported that King Abdullah II described the shooting as a terrorist attack³.

Al-Mamlaka television said gunmen got out of a vehicle and opened fire during a funeral procession, Reuters reported².

A witness quoted by Al Mamlaka said the shooting lasted about five minutes, that 150 to 200 people were in and around the church, and that most victims were between 50 and 70 years old³.

The National said video aired by Al Mamlaka appeared to show three people firing from a sidewalk and then running toward the church entrance³.

A relative of one of the dead told The National that three doctors were among those killed and that Christians were the target³.

King Abdullah said the attack would be met with force, vowed action against those responsible, and said the shooting would not undermine national unity, The National reported³.

Who carried out the attack, how many gunmen were involved, and a final casualty count were not settled across the accounts^1,2,3.
