54 Dead 445 Wounded After Shooting in Egypt

Muslim Brotherhood protesters converged on the compound where it is believed former president Morsi is being held by the Egyptian military, in Cairo.

According to some sources they then attacked the compound, while other sources say they simply protested outside.

Then the military opened fire on the protesters, either in defense of the compound, or as an attack upon the protesters.

Whatever the actual happenings, the results were clear, fifty-one dead and four hundred and thirty-seven wounded.

A police officer and two soldiers were also killed and at least eight soldiers were wounded.

Since the shooting, the Muslim Brotherhood has only increased their calls for an uprising.
