Gunman dies after public gun sex in downtown Amman
2005-06-17
AMMAN - A gunman who fired randomly at people in downtown Amman on Thursday died after apparently shooting himself in the head, eyewitnesses and police said.
There's gun sex and then there's gun sex ...
The body of the gunman, whose identity and motive were not known, was carried on a stretcher out of the Jordanian Hunters House, a arms dealer shop in the heart of Amman's commercial district, said an Associated Press reporter on the scene.

Police said the man killed himself after wounding several people during an hour-long shooting spree. A police official on the scene, insisting he not be identified under police regulations, declined to disclose the number of wounded people or provide other details.

An eyewitness who identified himself as Ammar Mohammed said the gunman, dressed in a black shirt and trousers and sported a long beard, entered the arms dealer shop and threatened the owner with a knife.
Brought a knife to a gun shop?
Police had sealed off the area to keep people away, and fired tear gas to try in an effort to have the gunman surrender. But later, the police official on the scene said the gunman killed himself. An eyewitness, who declined to be identified, said he saw police shooting the man after he failed to surrender.

'Good way to convince the gunman to commit suicide.
