CAIRO (AP) — A female protester was shot dead by police at a march in downtown Cairo Saturday, her political party said in a statement.

The leftist Popular Alliance party said that police shot its member Shaimaa el-Sabagh with birdshot Saturday evening as the group peacefully marched toward Tahrir Square to lay a commemorative wreath of roses on the eve of the 4th anniversary of Egypt's 2011 uprising.

A Ministry of Health official confirmed that a female protester died from birdshot injuries to her head and body.

A statement from the Interior Ministry said the police forces moved to disperse a protest after they saw demonstrators setting off fireworks. It said the police were conducting an investigation into the woman's death and vowed to arrest the perpetrators.

Photos widely distributed on social media showed el-Sabagh carrying a wreath of roses, and then bloodied and being carried by another protester.

Security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters, say they arrested 11 people following clashes.
