Eyewitnesses tell Fox News that Muslim Brotherhood supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi were fired upon with birdshot and rounds from automatic weapons at around 5:30 a.m. local time, during morning prayers. Fox News sources who were at the scene shortly after the shooting described seeing Muslim Brotherhood supporters with large chest wounds and fatal gunshot wounds in their backs.
The Muslim Brotherhood have blamed the attacks on the Egyptian military who were standing guard over the demonstration near to the Raba El Adwyia mosque.
Monday’s fighting caused the highest death toll since massive protests forced Morsi’s government from power last week and established an interim civilian administration.

It still doesn’t amount to a hill of beans when you compare the numbers of dead the Muslim Brotherhood are responsible for across the globe. Doesn’t even come 1/10,000th the number. My give-a-damn meter is still on ZERO.
Escalation? I call it a good start.
Damned Republicans.... Oh Wait....
Can i stil blame William Kristol?
Ditto. I was kind of hoping the Egyptian military would start dropping bombs on the por-Morsi crowds.

Problem with short excerpts. At the very bottom of the long article the military says the MB tried to storm the compound and got shot by the guards.
Military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said initial information indicates that gunmen affiliated with the Brotherhood tried to storm the Republican Guard building shortly after dawn, firing live ammunition and throwing firebombs from a nearby mosque and rooftops. One police officer on the scene was killed, he said. Another military spokesman, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to brief reporters, said five from the Brotherhood side were killed.
A statement by the armed forces published on the state news agency said "an armed terrorist group" tried to storm the Republican Guard building, killing one officer and seriously injuring six. The statement said the forces arrested 200 attackers, armed with guns and ammunition.

C’mon, reading is for chumps. A real man comments first.
Good or bad? Depends on what the score is.
If it's MB 50, military 1, that's great!
If it's the reverse, not so good.
