- description: BBC journalist Jeremy Bowen was shot in the head and leg today as demonstrations in Egypt ended in bloodshed. He was wounded as tens of thousands of people took to the streets over the ousting of president Mohammed Morsi by the military. Islamist leaders had called for a day of rage across the country after a military coup deposed Egypt's first democratically elected leader. Rubber bullets and tear gas were fired outside Cairo's Republican Guards Club where the deposed president is believed to be held. Bowen, a veteran of conflicts around the globe, said it was the first time he had been shot. As I helped his cameraman bandage his wounds, he said: "I was crossing the road when they opened fire. "I think it was a shotgun. I got two pellets in the leg and one in the ear. It came out of nothing."
