Gunmen opened fire at a church on the outskirts of Cairo on Friday, causing a number of injuries, the state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper reported.
Egyptian security forces killed one of the gunmen at the Mary Mina Church in Helwan, a district on the southern edge of the Egyptian capital. It was not immediately clear who the gunmen were or how many were involved in the attack.
Al-Ahram cited security officials saying that there were “a number of injuries.”
A security cordon has been put up at the scene as senior officials headed to the site.
