Update: Three killed in clashes near Tahrir

Earlier in the day, violence erupted near the Presidential Guards headquarters. State media reported that three were killed in the violence there, though Mada Masr was only able to confirm one death.

The guards allegedly shot a man who came near the barbed wire barriers protecting the building to try to put up a photo of the former president. Pro-Morsi protesters in the area said he was killed, and showed Mada Masr his ID. Another Mada Masr reported spotted the dead body at the entrance of the building adjacent to the Presidential Guards headquarters. 

Shortly after the shooting, protesters came closer to the barbed wire. Presidential Guards fired bird shot to push them back. Numbers of protesters increased as more demonstrators thronged to the area. Mada Masr reporter saw a march of men who said they were from Al-Azhar approaching the site of the clashes, stationing themselves between the Presidential Guards and the pro-Morsi protesters.

The violence broke out as thousands of Morsi supporters took to Egypt's streets to demand his return to power.

Protesters, led by Brotherhood leader Mohamed al-Beltagy, said they wouldn't leave until they entered the premises and freed their president. Morsi's whereabouts remain unknown, though an earlier report by the Associated Press suggests he was transferred from the headquarters of the Presidential Guards to a Ministry of Defense facility.  

Meanwhile, at pro-Morsi protests in Beheira, police fired tear gas to break up clashes with anti-Morsi demonstrators, Al-Ahram state-run newspaper reported. In Qena, eyewitness Mahmoud Ahmed reported that police clashed with pro-Morsi protesters and fired bird shot. One protester was heavily injured in his head, Ahmed alleged.

Pro-Morsi protesters in Beni-Sueif attempted to storm the military police headquarters there, but residents prevented them, according to MENA.

In Alexandria, MENA reported that clashes in the Sidi Gaber area between pro-Morsi protesters and their opponents left over 50 people injured. Reports suggest live ammunition was fired. 

Things were much quieter in Qalyubia, where Al-Ahram reported that many protesters returned home due to the absence of Brotherhood leaders. 

In Cairo, protests by Brotherhood members and supporters were organized around Cairo University, Rabea al-Adaweya Mosque — where an Islamist sit-in has been in progress for days — the Ministry of Defense and Salah Salem Road, the location of the Presidential Guards headquarters. 

Protesters around Cairo University roamed around the Dokki area chanting, "Islamic, Islamic, despite the will of seculars." They passed through a Security Directorate building and a church, chanting, "Islamic, Islamic."
