Jordanian officer fatally shoots two Americans, South African at security training site

Amman: A Jordanian officer shot dead two US government security contractors, a South African trainer and two Jordanians at a U.S.-funded police training facility near Amman on Monday before being killed in a shootout, Jordanian authorities said.

U.S. President Barack Obama said he was treating very seriously the attack at the King Abdullah Training Center, in which three Jordanians and one Lebanese citizen were wounded, and a full investigation was under way.
