AMMAN, Jordan, July 17 (UPI) -- A gunman fired at people waiting to board a bus at a popular tourist spot in Amman, Jordan, injuring six before shooting himself, authorities said.
A government official said the injuries to the five women and the bus driver weren't life-threatening but the gunman was said to be in critical condition, CNN reported.
Nasser Judeh, Jordan's information minister, said the victims and the gunman were all Arabs and officials don't consider Wednesday's shooting an act of terrorism.
Authorities said the suspect acted alone and wasn't known to have ties to a terrorist group. A witness said the gunman yelled "Allahu Akbar," "God is great," before firing, CNN said.
The shooting took place near a Roman amphitheater, a major tourist destination in the old downtown section of the Jordanian capital.
