Grazed by a rubber bullet while covering protests in Los Angeles. Police opened fire on protesters who hand their hands up outside CBS gate.
Photos from in front of CBS.
Protesters pushed open the CBS gate before security pushed them back and closed the gates.

The crowd tried to reopen the gate, then ran once their heard pops that sounded like rubber bullets. A force of police officers came through the gate shortly after.
A few water bottles sailed out of the crowd toward the officers as they exited the CBS lot. Then they advanced toward the crowd—fast. A few of them began to open fire.
One officer in particular that I could see fired at protesters who were holding their hands up. I zoomed in on his face in one photo to highlight his expression.
