After Friday's afternoon prayers defiant pro-Morsi filed into the streets of Cairo to deliver on the earlier promised Friday of anger.
Some of the Protesters were armed.
The demonstrations are taking place under the slogan "the people want to topple the coup" - referring to the military's removal of Mr Morsi on 3 July.
With the military blocking all entrances to Tahrir Square, thousands gathered at Ramses Square, where a heavy cloud of smoke from a building on fire floated into the air, Nile TV reported.
Security forces fired tear gas at a mass of people on a major bridge leading to centrally located Ramses Square. Machine gun fire was heard in central Cairo as a military chopper flew overhead. One witness reported seeing police fire at pro-Morsy protesters exiting a mosque in the western part of the city.The interior ministry says police have been authorised to use live ammunition "within a legal framework".
Thirteen people died in Cairo, health and security sources said, with many dead and wounded near Ramses Square.
Outside Cairo, there are 12 reported deaths in Nile Delta cities and 13 in the rest of Egypt.
