A reporter was “caught in the crossfire” after being shot by a rubber bullet while covering immigration protests in Los Angeles on live television.

An Australian reporter was shot by a rubber bullet live on air while covering the protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles over the weekend.

On Sunday, June 8, 9 News Australia shared a video on X showing their U.S. correspondent, Lauren Tomasi, being “caught in the crossfire as the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) fired rubber bullets at protesters in the heart” of the city.

Telling the camera the situation had “rapidly deteriorated,” Tomasi added, “The LAPD moving in on horseback, firing rubber bullets at protesters, moving them on through the heart of L.A.”

Tomasi was then shot in the leg, as she screamed, before insisting, “I’m good.”
