Salhen identified the dead student as Khaled al-Haddad, and said he had been struck by a bullet fired by police. Haddad, believed to be 21, was a student in the faculty of commerce. At least eight other students have died during protests at al-Azhar since the overthrow of Morsi.
A second student, Tamim Mohamed, was hit in the head and was said to be undergoing surgery at a Cairo hospital.
