Egypt unrest: Morsi supporters 'shot dead' in Cairo Egypt unrest: Morsi supporters shot dead in Cairo
(35 minutes later)
At least seven people have been killed after the army raided a sit-in staged by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi in Cairo, reports say. At least 15 people have been killed in a shooting incident in Cairo, amid continuing unrest over the removal of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi.
One eyewitness from the Muslim Brotherhood told the BBC the army used live ammunition to disperse the crowds in the eastern Nasr City district. The Muslim Brotherhood says its members were fired on while holding a sit-in at a Presidential Guard barracks. It put the death toll at more than 30.
Dozens of people were injured and taken to a nearby makeshift hospital. But the army said a "terrorist group" had tried to storm the barracks.
Mr Morsi, Egypt's first Islamist president, was removed by the army last week after mass protests against him. Mr Morsi, Egypt's first Islamist president, was ousted by the army on Wednesday after mass protests.
Eyewitnesses say the army raided the sit-in the Presidential Guards Club, where Mr Morsi is believed to be held, at about 04:00 (02:00 GMT) as many of the protesters were performing dawn prayers. He has been placed in detention and is believed to be held at the Presidential Guard Club, where his supporters have been staging a sit-in since last week demanding his reinstatement.
Egyptian media report that the army and police forces opened fire after a group of demonstrators tried to climb the walls of the club. The Islamist Al-Nour party, which had supported the military action, said it had now suspended talks to choose an interim prime minister, describing Monday morning's events as a "massacre".
Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Mostafa el-Khatib told the BBC's Ahmed Maher in Cairo that he saw seven dead bodies in the hospital with gunshots to their chests and heads. 'Weapons seized'
The army has so far made no comment on the claim. The Muslim Brotherhood, the movement Mr Morsi comes from, said the army raided the sit-in at about 04:00 (02:00 GMT) as many of the protesters were performing dawn prayers.
On Sunday, tens of thousands of both supporters and opponents of Mr Morsi rallied in many Egyptian cities. One protester, Mahmud al-Shilli, told the AFP news agency that the Republican Guard had fired tear gas but that a group of men in civilian clothing had then opened fired.
"The thugs came from the side. We were the target," he told AFP.
However in a statement read on state media, the army blamed to the shooting on "an armed terrorist group" which had tried to storm the barracks.
It said an army officer was among those killed and a number of others were wounded.
The statement said some 200 people had been arrested and were found to have large amounts of weapons, ammunition and petrol bombs.
The BBC's Jim Muir in Cairo says though there are conflicting reports about what happens it is clear that blood has been shed in the capital, which will aggravate an already critical situation.
Mr Morsi was replaced on Thursday by Adly Mansour - the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court - who promised to hold elections soon but gave no date.Mr Morsi was replaced on Thursday by Adly Mansour - the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court - who promised to hold elections soon but gave no date.
