THIS is the moment a TV journalist was shot live on air as she reported on the violent immigration riots in Los Angeles.

While covering the protests for Nine News, Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi was struck at a close range by a rubber bullet, causing her to collapse in pain right in the middle of her live broadcast.

“The LAPD are moving in on horseback and firing rubber bullets at protesters,” Tomasi told viewers, as loud bangs echoed across Downtown LA.

In a dramatic moment captured on camera, a police officer suddenly aimed his weapon towards her, releasing a cloud of smoke near the correspondent. Tomasi was seen folding over in agony, live on air.

“You just f***ing shot a reporter!” a furious protester screamed at police, as others rushed to help the injured Aussie.

Despite the shocking moment, Tomasi managed to yell back, “I’m good, I’m good.”
