One witness, 30-year-old Abdelaziz Abdel Shakua who was shot in the leg, said he had been to the Republican Guard building for a peaceful protest.
Speaking from a hospital, he said: “They shot us with teargas, birdshot, rubber bullets - everything. Then they used live bullets.”
He said shooting broke out in the early morning while Islamists were praying near the Cairo facility.
