Gunmen opened fire on Friday during a funeral at a Greek Orthodox church in Karak Governorate. The attack targeted Christian mourners, resulting in nine deaths and 40 injuries.
In the wake of the violence, Jordan's prime minister represented the king at a funeral for eight of the victims.
Jordanian security forces arrested three men in connection with the attack early Monday. Authorities stated that the suspects refused to surrender and opened fire on security forces, who returned fire, wounding and arresting them.
