Australian journalist shot by a rubber bullet during LA protests - video

Footage from Nine Network Australia captures the dramatic moment an Australian television journalist was struck by a rubber bullet while covering protests in Los Angeles. The incident occurred on Sunday during ongoing demonstrations against recent immigration-related arrests. 9News reporter Lauren Tomasi was reporting live from the scene when the projectile hit her.

Despite the impact, Tomasi remained composed and continued her coverage. Her employer later confirmed that she was sore from the incident but otherwise unharmed. The event has raised fresh concerns about the safety of journalists reporting from volatile protest zones. US President Donald Trump. ordered 700 US Marines and 2,000 more National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Monday after days of street protests sparked by dozens of immigration arrests.
