PSD Incident Report Disproves Disinformation Campaign Surrounding Fatal Altercation

Amman, June 2 (Petra) – The Public Security Directorate (PSD) released an official briefing Tuesday detailing a fatal shooting incident from the previous day, refuting online narratives attempting to justify the suspect's deployment of a firearm against civilians and responding law enforcement personnel.

The PSD media spokesperson stated that active investigations, eyewitness depositions, and statements from all primary actors – including the suspect’s son – contradict claims of a long-standing history of cross-complaints between the disputing parties.

According to the case file, responding units initially noted a minor neighborly dispute two days prior, which concluded without any official police reports filed. The conflict resurfaced yesterday, escalating into a physical altercation. The suspect then produced a firearm and discharged multiple rounds indiscriminately into the crowd. The gunfire fatally wounded a bystander who was attempting to break up the fight and was not an active party to the dispute.

The spokesperson cautioned against the dissemination of unverified claims that compromise public order. The PSD reiterated that updates must be sourced directly from official channels, noting that the directorate has maintained operational transparency throughout the investigation.

Meanwhile, the Cybercrimes Unit is actively monitoring online platforms to track down individuals fabricating details or defaming the deceased and injured victims. The PSD confirmed that the evidence profile and the suspect are being transferred to the judiciary today for formal arraignment.
