Reporter hit as LA officers fire rubber bullets at protesters
An Australian news correspondent was hit as Los Angeles police fired rubber bullets Sunday as tensions with immigration raid protesters escalated. 'After hours of standing off, this situation has now rapidly deteriorated,' Lauren Tomasi, the U.S. correspondent for Australia's 9News, said in a live report from downtown Los Angeles shortly before she was hit. 'The LAPD moving in on horseback, firing rubber bullets at protesters, moving them on through the heart of LA,' she continued. Moments later, Tomasi audibly exclaimed as she grabbed her calf, apparently in pain, as the camera panned away from the incident. 'You just f‑‑‑ing shot the reporter,' an individual was heard saying off camera. Another individual asked Tomasi if she was OK, and she said, 'I'm good.' Tomasi returned to her reporting spot hours later, and a 9News anchor in Australia asked the U.S.-based correspondent for an update on her condition. 'I'm OK. My cameraman Jimmy and I are both safe. This is just one of the unfortunate realities of reporting on these kinds of incidents. It has been a really volatile day on the streets of Los Angeles,' Tomasi said, before reporting that downtown Los Angeles had mostly cleared out by nightfall. 9News issued a similar statement after the incident. 'Lauren Tomasi was struck by a rubber bullet. Lauren and her camera operator are safe and will continue their essential work covering these events,' the statement read, according to the outlet's reporting of the incident. 'This incident serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers journalists can face while reporting from the frontlines of protests, underscoring the importance of their role in providing vital information,' the statement continued. A British news photographer, Nick Stern, was also struck while reporting on the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles over the weekend, according to numerous British outlets. He is now recovering from emergency surgery. 'My initial concern was, were they firing live rounds?' Stern told a news agency, noting he was struck by a 14 mm 'sponge bullet' in his thigh. 'Some of the protesters came and helped me, and they ended up carrying me, and I noticed that there was blood pouring down my leg,' he added. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
