The 'sniper of the eyes' Mahmoud Wahid El Shennawy
Mahmoud El-Shennawy, the Central Security Forces’ first lieutenant dubbed "the sniper of the eyes," has surrendered himself to the Ministry of Interior, according to a high-ranking security source.
El-Shennawy became a hunted man when video footage of him allegedly shooting at protesters’ eyes during clashes on Mohamed Mahmoud Street spread like wildfire over the internet.
A security source said on Tuesday that investigations into El-Shennawy’s conduct would begin within 72 hours and denied the suspect had fled the country, adding that his family had changed their residence after receiving several threats.
