CAIRO, Feb 3 (Reuters) - At least two protesters were shot dead by Egyptian police using live ammunition to disperse a crowd trying to break into a police station in the city of Suez, a medical source and witnesses said on Friday.

"We received two corpses of protesters shot dead by live ammunition," said a doctor at a morgue where the bodies were kept. A witness said: "Protesters are trying to break into the Suez police station and police are now firing live ammunition."
