Cairo : At least 31 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded after security forces opened fire on a pro-Morsi in Cairo, says Muslim Brotherhood.
The spokesman of Muslim Brotherhood, Gehad El-Haddad said, "They are not shooting to wound, they are shooting to kill, the bullet wounds are in the head and chest."

Medics were shown by Al Jazeera's television, who were desperately trying to revive casualties arriving at a field hospital at the Brotherhood sit-in at Rabaa al-Adawiya, a mosque in northeast Cairo.
El-Haddad further added that the police initially started firing tear-gas at protesters on a road close to the mosque sometime after 3am and shortly after that, they started firing live rounds, hitting people at close range.
The current wave of bloodshed was caused due to the yesterday's call by Egyptian Army Chief, which asked anti-Morsi supporters to come on the streets across the country,to support against terrorism.
Hundreds of thousands Pro and Anti-Morsi supporters were gathered in the streets of Cairo,adding nothing except laying bare deep divisions within the Arab world's most populous country.
Until now, more than 200 people, most of Brotherhood supporters, have died in violence since the overthrow of Egyptian President Mohmmad Morsi.
