The Egyptian military is cracking down on demonstrations by Muslim Brotherhood supporters using tear-gas and shotguns firing pellets or 'birdshot', with several journalists being caught up in the violence.
Soldiers earlier fired live rounds on crowds outside a military building, leaving at least 3 dead and many more injured, and are attempting to dispel the protest by force.

Thanks for the messages. I've been hit by a couple of shotgun pellets. Am fine and heading out
