Here's the story from Ammon News (Jordan):

A Jordanian man was killed and an Israeli wounded in an exchange of fire inside the Israeli embassy on Sunday.

The man was reported to be involved in an attempted security breach at the embassy.

Two Jordanians were involced, one was killed and the other arrested.

Another newspaper, Al Ghad, identifies the dead man as a 17-year old Jordanian involved in a 'quarrel" in the embassy. It says that the man had been shot twice in the shoulder and the Israeli employee was stabbed in the chest.

Jordanian security is surrounding the area.

Al Wakeel News says that it was a quarrel over installing furniture.

UPDATE: Apparently the Israeli is in surgery now with multiple stab wounds to the abdomen and in critical condition.

Newer stories say the Israeli was shot as well, not stabbed.

UPDATE 2: Bloomberg says 2 Jordanians dead:
Jordan’s Anadolu news agency said one man was shot dead after stabbing an embassy staffer, citing an unidentified security official. The death of the second Jordanian was reported by al-Jazeera. Israel’s Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the shooting, including on the identity and condition of its injured citizen, because of a government censorship order.

The story is still being censored in Israel, even though the wire services have it worldwide.

UPDATE 3: YNet reports:
The Foreign Ministry believes the incident to be a terrorist attack related to the events surrounding the Temple Mount.

Additionally, according to ministry officials, the 17-year-old attacker entered the home of an embassy official apparently to replace furniture, whereupon he happened to encounter the Israeli security guard and the Jordanian property owner.

The terrorist then came up behind the security guard and proceeded to stab him with a screwdriver, prompting the guard to produce a firearm and open fire at his attacker, killing him and the landlord.
But Ammon News seems to imply that the attacker stabbed both the doctor/landlord and the Israeli during a quarrel (unclear whom the quarrel was with.)  Another carpenter was arrested by Jordanian authorities.

This is causing a diplomatic crisis as Israel does not want the guard questioned.
