Head of Ambulance Authority Ahmed El-Ensary said that one person was killed when pro-Morsi protesters clashed in the Ain Shams district northeast of Cairo with residents opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood leader, who was toppled by the army last year in a popularly-backed military coup. Two other people were wounded in the clashes which erupted after the protesters fired birdshot and live rounds at Ain Shams residents.

The supporters of Morsi were protesting after Friday prayers when security forces came to disperse them. Weekly demonstrations after Friday prayers have been common since Morsi’s ouster last year.
