Sky News cameraman Mick Deane shot and killed in Egypt

A veteran Sky News cameraman has been shot and killed while covering the violence in Cairo, the broadcaster has said.

Sixty-one-year-old Mick Deane had worked for Sky for 15 years. He was married with two sons.

Head of Sky News John Ryley paid tribute to an "experienced journalist" and "much-loved colleague".

Earlier Egyptian security forces stormed two protest camps in Cairo, with reports of dozens killed.

A state of emergency has been declared in the country after the army and riot police moved to clear the camps, which were occupied by supporters of deposed President Mohammed Morsi.

Camera men and women put themselves at risk so we can know what's going on.

RIP Mr. Deane.

I fear things will only get worse over there.
