Gunmen have opened fire on a Greek Orthodox church in Jordan.

It happened during a funeral procession, a few hours ago, in Hammoud village in Jordan's Karak governorate, south of the capital, Amman.

7 people are dead and 34 are wounded.

The gunmen pulled up in a vehicle and opened fire at the church entrance. State broadcaster Al-Mamlaka aired footage of it. The shooting lasted about five minutes, then the attackers ran.
