British man killed as gunman opens fire on group of tourists

A BRITISH man was killed and two British women injured when a gunman opened fire on tourists in Jordan yesterday.

Three other foreigners and a Jordanian tourist police officer were also wounded in the shooting at the Roman theatre in the capital Amman.

An eyewitness described seeing a clean-shaven man in his 30s wielding a gun and shouting “Allahu akbar” — God is great — before opening fire on the tourists at one of the city’s most popular attractions.
