An Egyptian policeman on Thursday committed suicide by shooting himself in the head before stunned colleagues inside a police station in the North Sinai Peninsula.
Mohamed Abdel Latif, 36, is thought to have taken his own life due to financial and family problems. He died on the spot.
The relevant authorities have been instructed to open an investigation into the incident.
On Tuesday, another police officer similarly shot himself in the Nile Delta governorate of Menoufiya. He was reported to have suffered from psychological problems, and had failed to report to work for several months.
On the same day, in the canal city of Ismailia, a third policeman shot himself in the head, although not fatally. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he is currently in critical condition.
