She did it deliberately for the photo op.

Notice how she turned her back and then moved closer to the officers.
She could be safely reporting from the other side of the street.
Not point blank

Does not belong in front of the police line
Journalists are not above the law
She wasn't shot. The angle of the rifle is not directed to her leg. They shot someone else. The cameraman kept showing someone else instead of the impact of the bullet on her leg…just my 2 cents.

Is she that stupid to be in the middle of a battle zone? Of course she is because I'm sure she's expecting the same old response that happened under the Biden administration and that was our law-enforcement was not allowed to do anything. There are more news and social media…

Good. She should be deported

Any so called news organization calling an insurrection “demonstrations and civil unrest” needs to be investigated for aiding and abetting separatists.
