A gunman is dead in Jordan after wounding three police officers in a shootout near Israel’s embassy early Sunday, authorities said.

The gunman opened fire in the Rabiah neighborhood of the capital of Amman, Jordan’s Public Security Directorate said in a statement. Police pursued the gunman, shooting and killing him.

“He was chased and surrounded, so he started firing gunshots at the security force, which in turn applied the rules of engagement, which resulted in the killing of the perpetrator,” the statement said.

Jordan’s communications minister, Mohamed Momani, described the shooting to Reuters as a terrorist attack that targeted public security forces in the country.

“Tampering with the security of the nation and attacking security personnel will be met with a firm response,” Momani told the outlet.

While authorities did not immediately identify the shooter or a motive, Momani said the gunman had a criminal history of drug trafficking.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.

Jordan is a close Western ally that made peace with Israel in 1994, though relations were strained amid Israel’s war in Gaza, which was sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks.
