Canberra/Washington, June 10 (Reporter) Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says his government has spoken with the US administration about the shooting of an Australian reporter with rubber bullets in Los Angeles. Television news reporter Lauren Tomasi was covering the ongoing protests in Los Angeles for Australia's Nine Network News on Sunday local time when she was shot in the leg with a rubber bullet fired by a police officer in the city's downtown district. A footage captured showed the officer directly aiming at Tomasi and her cameraman before firing. A second Australian journalist, the ABC’s North America correspondent Lauren Day, had also been impacted by police action while reporting on the protests in LA. Day said she “felt the unmistakable burn of tear gas – first in my eyes, then in my nose, lips and throat,” reports Guardian. Albanese, calling the incident "horrific,” said that he has raised the issue with the US authorities. "We have already raised these issues with the U.S. administration. We don't find it acceptable that it occurred. And we think that the role of the media is particularly important." He added that there was “no ambiguity” about Tomasi’s status as a reporter, when the firing began. "I spoke with Lauren this morning. She's going OK. She's pretty resilient," he said. Earlier, Tomasi told the Today show it was “a bit of a shock” to be shot by police, but she only has minor injuries. “I have a bit of a bloody big old bruise and it’s a little bit sore, but I am all OK,” the US correspondent told Nine on Tuesday. “It’s a really crappy thing that’s happened. But I really don’t want to be the story … it’s a really chaotic situation that’s unfolding in Los Angeles...////...
