An Australian news reporter, 9News U.S. correspondent Lauren Tomasi, was covering the anti-ICE protests and riots in Los Angeles when, suddenly, she was shot by a rubber bullet while live on air.

9News Australia shared the exact moment that Tomasi was shot by a rubber bullet.

“LAPD moving in on horseback, firing rubber bullets at protesters, moving them on through the heart of LA,” Tomasi said.

Moments later, and following a loud bang, one of the Los Angeles Police Department officers is shown pointing the weapon at the camera. The officer then pulled the trigger. Tomasi grabbed her leg as she screamed.

“You just f–king shot the reporter!” a man yells at the officer. Then, another individual asks Tomasi, “You okay?” Tomasi answered, “Yeah, I’m good, I’m good” with a distraught voice.
