CCTV footage appears to show gunmen near a church in Jordan where six people were killed and 28 injured in an attack on a funeral, the BBC reports.
CCTV footage that appears to show the gunmen behind a deadly attack on a church in Jordan has been published by the BBC, following a shooting at a funeral service that left six people dead and 28 others injured. The video was released on Friday as part of the BBC's coverage of the attack.
The footage captures the area around a church in the Karak governorate in central Jordan, where mourners had gathered for the funeral. According to the BBC, the unidentified gunmen arrived in a car and began shooting inside the building while dozens of people were inside.
A government spokesperson confirmed that six people were killed and another 28 were wounded in the shooting. Local media reported that dozens of mourners had been inside the church for the funeral when the attack began.
The government condemned the shooting as "heinous" and said security forces had been deployed to the area in the wake of the attack.
The footage appears to offer the first visual account of the attackers, who have not been publicly identified. The BBC describes the gunmen as unidentified, and officials have released few details beyond the casualty figures and the deployment of security forces.
The BBC's report draws on the footage and on statements from a Jordanian government spokesperson as authorities respond to the shooting.
