The Jordanian Public Security Directorate announced that its forces successfully contained a serious security threat in the Ashrafieh area of Amman, after a man became involved in an armed altercation with his neighbors. He then barricaded himself inside his home, firing indiscriminately at passersby and police forces, resulting in his death and injuries to three citizens, one of whom later died from his wounds.
