India, June 9 -- Lauren Tomasi, an Australian TV reporter with Nine News, was allegedly shot with a rubber bullet while covering the riots in Los Angeles on Sunday. She was reportedly struck in the leg, and the incident was caught on camera.

Video footage shows a police officer taking aim in the direction of Tomasi and her camera operator before firing. Tomasi can be heard crying out in pain and clutching her calf. A bystander shouts at the police, "You just shot the f------ reporter!"

Despite the injury, Tomasi quickly tells the bystander, "I'm good," before she and her camera operator move away from the scene.
