Unidentified assailants shot and killed a policeman and injured another in Egypt's northern city of Sharqiya on Thursday, Al-Ahram's Arabic news website reported.
The attackers, riding on a motorcycle, shot the two on-duty officers and then fled the scene.
Egypt's security forces have been under constant threat of attacks and assassinations since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi last year. Hundreds of police and army members have been killed and injured in various assaults, mainly targeting their posts, in the restive Sinai Peninsula and elsewhere nationwide.
