Update: Casualties of Jordan police shooting rise to 5

The number of victims killed by a Jordanian police in Amman on Monday rose to five after a Jordanian civilian died from serious injuries he sustained in the attack, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

Earlier in the day, a Jordanian policeman shot dead a South African and two U.S. trainers at the International Police Training Centre in capital Amman, Minister of State Mohammad Momani said, adding that two other Americans and four Jordanians were injured in the shooting.

Another Jordanian died at hospital from injuries.

The attacker, who was identified as Anwar Abu Zeid, exchanged fire with the security forces at the center and was shot dead on site.

One of his relatives told Xinhua that Zeid was 29 years old and has two children.

"He was a very kind person. He was pious and good to people. We are shocked," said the relative.

So far, there is no report over the motive behind the attack. Endit
