A man who allegedly shot and killed his mother and sister in a violent domestic dispute has been arrested by authorities while attempting to flee the country, officials said on Wednesday.
The incident unfolded in Ain Al-Basha, a town just outside Amman, where the man reportedly opened fire on his family during an argument inside their home. His mother and one of his sisters died from their injuries, while a second sister survived and is receiving treatment at a local hospital.
Following the shootings, the suspect fled the scene, sparking a manhunt. The Criminal Investigation Department tracked him to a border crossing, where he was taken into custody while trying to escape the country.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing, and authorities are working to piece together the events that led to the tragic killings.
