Gunmen open fire at a church during a funeral in Jordan, killing 7 and wounding 40
Footage broadcast on Jordanian state television showed three gunmen firing shots at a Greek Orthodox church in the city of Karak on Friday.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center the same basic frame of a deadly church shooting in Jordan and the king’s vow of retaliation. CBS News is the most cautious, saying authorities say at least 7 were killed, while South China Morning Post adds that dozens were wounded and describes the attack as a rare one against Christians in a majority Sunni Muslim kingdom. Fox News is the only outlet in the set that explicitly labels it an act of terrorism.
