An MP in Jordan has been reportedly charged with attempted murder after he allegedly opened fire at a fellow politician with an automatic rifle.
MP Talal Sharif opened fire in the halls of parliament because of a personal dispute between him and politician Qusai al Dmeisi, who had filed the complaint.
According to Sky News, Sharif, who was overpowered, was also charged with possession of a firearm without a licence, resisting police arrest and disturbing public order.
Jordan's King Abdullah II instructed parliament speaker Saad Hayel Srour to hand over Sharif to police custody.
The report said that Sharif has been detained for 15 days and if convicted, he faces 15 years in jail.
