At least one person died from a shot to the head, while 17 residents and three policemen were injured in clashes between two Daqahlia families over diesel fuel on Wednesday.

The family feud began with an altercation between a driver and another over who was first in line for diesel fuel at a Nabrawa City gas station.
 
The argument escalated into a fight with bladed weapons, which later became a major feud between both drivers’ families that involved firearms.
 
Abdallah Abdel Hamid al-Manzalawy, 35, was shot in the head and transferred to hospital in serious condition. He later died of his injuries, which pushed the infighting to a new extreme.
 
Three houses were also set ablaze.

The police, with help from the Central Security Forces, used tear gas to disperse crowds and put out the fire that had spread to two other homes.
 
Central Security Forces and armored vehicles were deployed in the city to restore calm.
 
The Public Prosecution is investigating the incident by gathering testimonies from those hospitalized and ordering an autopsy on the man killed.
