Family of the 3 murdered service members criticized the Jordanian statements

Washington (CNN) The US military has found that three Green Beret soldiers shot in Jordan followed proper procedures, despite initial Jordanian media claims to the contrary.

A US Special Operations Command investigation into the November shooting of three US Army Special Forces soldiers at King Faisal Air Base in Jordan determined that the US forces "demonstrated valorous conduct and extraordinary heroism" after coming under fire from a Jordanian guard, according to a redacted copy of the report.

"There is no evidence that US forces failed to fully comply with Jordanian Base entrance procedures," the report said.

Investigators said they were able to obtain video surveillance footage of the event, allowing for a very detailed examination of events.
