Three people, including a girl aged eight, died when gunmen on motorcycles opened fire on a wedding party outside a Coptic Christian church in Cairo.
Egypt|s Coptic Christian community has been targeted by some Islamists who accuse the Church of backing the army|s overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi in July.
A man and a girl were killed outside the church and a woman died on her way to hospital.
Another priest, Beshay Lotfi, told Egyptian media that the church had been left without a police guard since the end of June.
The Coptic Orthodox Church is one of Christianity|s oldest, founded in Alexandria around 50 AD.
Christians make up at least 10% of the population in Egypt, or well over eight million people.
Some Islamists took this as a sign that the Church had conspired in their leader|s overthrow.
Pope Tawadros has received death threats, while several Christians have been killed. Christian shops, homes and businesses have also been targeted.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
