The American journalist, who works on an Australian news canal, was shot on her leg with a rubber bullet, while she covered protests in Los Angeles, showed several videos on social media.
In the videos, reporter 9news Lauren Tomasi is seen to report from the city center when it is shot by an officer of the Los Angeles police department, behind her a few meters behind her.
She obviously didn’t know about an officer focusing on her who was shooting at her nearby. Tomasi can see how he screams and limp from the scene with her cameraman Křičík at the officer: “You just shot a reporter”.
Tomasi covered the protests in La on Sunday, when thousands of people took the streets in response to the extraordinary deployment of US President Donald Trump’s National Guard.
Demonstrators blocked the main highway and set fire to fire with their own drive, because the enforcement used tear gas, rubber bullets and lightning wounds to control the crowd.
Later, Tomasi returned to his place to continue his news, and assured his counterpart in the studio that she and her cameraman were “fine and safe” after they were caught in cross fire.
“It’s just one of the unfortunate real estate reports about such types of incidents,” she said.
