Can't really tell definitively from the article, but those are the implications in my opinion. Way too possessive of his daughter, and she kind of did things, like date, behind her father's back. She also mentioned to one male friend that her father scared her. Also, he the family or perhaps just the father (do not really remember how it was stated) immigrated from Jordan in 1978. His initial statement to the police said he was angry at her, and that is why he shot her. He later changed that to, it was an accident.
These are the clues that lead me to believe that it is indeed an honor killing.
Honor killing?
You have to read 30 paragraphs to get to anything hinting at it. The father was born in Jordan that daughter was living the life of an American citizen
This article reads like total lie as and propaganda. Send this guy back to Jordan where he prefers the culture.
