Gunman in Egypt church attack filmed calmly during chase
Video circulating on social media shows a gunman firing outside Helwan church and a nearby Copt-owned store for about 10 minutes before he is shot. Authorities differ on whether he was captured alive or killed as security forces faced accusations of overpraising police. The incident occurs amid heightened security ahead of Christmas celebrations and follows a broader pattern of IS-linked violence against Christians in Egypt.
