Egypt: several dead as army opens fire on sit-in of Morsi supporters The death toll varied from 15 to 34, with estaimates that hundreds of people were injured in the raid on a sit-in outside the Presidential Guards Club, where Mr Morsi is believed to be held. Dozens of people have been taken to a makeshift hospital nearby for treatment. "Sixteen people were killed and a hundred others injured, many of them in serious condition," the Muslim Brotherhood's spokesman Ahmed Aref told AFP. Police barricades prevented journalists from accessing the area. Egyptian media reported that the army and police forces opened fire after a group of demonstrators tried to climb the walls of the club. The army said it was retaliating against an attempt by a "terrorist group" to storm the building. One officer was killed and another 40 were wounded in the clash, a spokesman said. Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Mostafa el-Khatib told the BBC that he saw seven dead bodies in the hospital with gunshots to their chests and heads. The armed forces overthrew the Islamist Morsi last Wednesday, backed by massive street demonstrations. Brotherhood supporters have been staging daily protests ever since.
