An MP tried to shoot his colleague after a row in Jordan’s parliament.
Talal al-Sharif fired an AK-47 at fellow-MP Qusay Dmeisi, but he missed and Dmeisi escaped unharmed.
The two had earlier had a fierce parliamentary exchange.
Afterwards al-Sharif went outside to fetch his assault rifle.
He was stopped by guards as he returned to the parliament, forcing him to fire from the hallway.
The Jordanian parliament had a similar incident last year when one member of Parliament threatened his opponent with a pistol while being interviewed by a local TV station.
The case is expected to be handed over to police and there have been calls for the MP to be dismissed.
