Nine News has issued an official statement after its U.S. correspondent, Lauren Tomasi, was shot with a rubber bullet while reporting live from violent anti-immigration riots in Los Angeles. The incident occurred as LAPD forces moved to disperse demonstrators protesting recent federal immigration crackdowns. In the live broadcast, Tomasi was visibly struck in the leg but continued coverage, assuring viewers of her condition. Nine News confirmed both she and her cameraman are safe. Australian officials are demanding explanations from U.S. authorities as concerns grow over journalist safety during civil unrest.
