Mohammed Shawabka, Jordan MP, Pulls Gun In Video

Member Of Parliament Pulls Gun On Live TV

A member of Jordan's parliament pulled a gun on one of his critics during a heated debate on live TV, prompting the program host to desperately try to separate the two men.

The MP was identified as Mohammed Shawabka, and according to The Times of Israel he was discussing Jordan's policies toward Syria. As the verbal disagreement escalated, Shawabka reached down to toss a shoe at his critic. He then grabbed a silver gun from his waistband.

The action starts at 1:30 in the video above.

This isn't the first time this year that an MP has been caught on tape brawling. In January, an Israeli lawmaker tossed water on a colleague during a routine debate. In May, dozens of Ukrainian MPs took part in a mass fight during a parliament session.
