Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Mohammad Khawaldeh - A 25-year old man from northern Karak fired gunshots on Sunday morning at a 55-year old man from the same area, which caused his immediate death.

The perpetrator allegedly fired his gun near the entrance of Prince Ali Ben Hussein Hospital in Karak, then turned himself in to police.

Security sources revealed that the crime was committed in revenge, noting that the son of the victim had killed the brother of the alleged killer last year in Zarqa.

An initial autopsy report revealed that the victim sustained four gunshot wounds on his head and neck.

An investigation had been launched to look into the details of the incident.

Karak Governor, Ali Shara'a began taking the necessary legal and administrative measures in regards to the incident, aimed at containing possible escalations similar to the violent incidents that erupted in Salt on Thursday and Friday after the death of a Balqa Applied University student.

Tribal clashes also erupted this past weekend in Northern Ghor after the death of a young man.
