At least seven people have been killed and 34 others wounded in a church shooting in Jordan, authorities said Friday. The unidentified assailants allegedly attacked the Greek Orthodox church during a funeral in the Karak directorate in the central part of the country.

What the coverage shows

All five outlets converge on the same core toll, saying six people were killed and 28 injured in a shooting at a church funeral in Jordan. Sky News, France 24 and CNN all describe gunmen opening fire, while BBC News and CNN add that a manhunt or pursuit of the gunmen is under way. France 24 is the only outlet to identify the church as Greek Orthodox and place the attack in Karak directorate, and The Independent alone adds that such attacks are extremely rare in Jordan.
