Terrifying moment Aussie news reporter is shot by heavily-armed cops during LA riots, Click the link to watch the horrifying Video

An Australian reporter was shot with a rubber bullet by riot police while covering the ongoing mass protests in Los Angeles.

US correspondent for Nine Lauren Tomasi was reporting on the ‘rapidly deteriorating’ riots in the city on Sunday evening, local time, when she was hit.

‘The LAPD are moving in on horseback and firing rubber bullets at protesters,’ Tomasi said.

As she told viewers the police were ‘moving them (protesters) on through the heart of LA’ several loud bangs were heard in the distance.

Just moments later a policeman was seen turning his gun towards Tomasi.

A cloud of smoke appeared next to the journalist and she doubled over in pain.

‘You just f***ing shot a reporter,’ a protester yelled at nearby police.

Several protesters stopped to ask Tomasi if she was okay and she yelled back ‘I’m good, I’m good’.

Nine confirmed Tomasi was ‘left sore but otherwise unharmed’ by the close-range shot.

Protesters in the city are marching against President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal migrants and raids by ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Horrifying scenes showed cars erupting into flames and emitting toxic gases as rioters chained themselves to furniture and created blockades to grind Downtown Los Angeles to a complete halt as violence stretched into a third day.

Trump sent in 2,000 National Guard troops and placed 500 Marines on standby, while the LAPD has authorized the ‘use of less lethal munitions’ to regain control of the city.

The conflict has sparked a war of words between Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who accused him of intentionally inflaming tensions.

Trump hit back with a Truth Social post on Sunday demanding both Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass apologise for the LA riots.
