Woman in video appears unarmed as she walks alone before police shoot her near her residence

Law enforcement officers have shot a woman with what appears to be “less lethal” ammunition at close range while she was walking alone near her residence in Los Angeles, new footage shot during the recent protests reveals.

The video, which was taken by another woman and shared on social media, shows the woman walking down a street alone. A line of law enforcement officers appear to tell her to leave the area.

Moments later there is a loud bang as one of the officers appears to fire at the woman, who steps back after being hit and staggers away.

Later she can be heard saying: “I live here.”

The woman who filmed the incident runs to the victim, who is crying, and helps her sit down before moving across the street as the officers continue to shout orders. “They literally just shot her point-blank,” the woman filming says.

The Los Angeles police department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday morning.

“Less than lethal”, “non-lethal” or “less lethal” munitions – such as rubber, plastic or sponge bullets, and pepper balls – are sometimes deployed in the US by law enforcement during protests to disperse crowds. Despite the name, these munitions have caused serious injury and death in the past.

During the current protests in Los Angeles, law enforcement officers have fired flashbangs, teargas and rubber bullets, while other news outlets have also reported the use of pepper balls.

On Sunday, the Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi from Nine News was shot in the leg by a rubber bullet while reporting live from the protests.

In a statement, Nine News said Tomasi was “struck by a rubber bullet” and said that she and her camera operator “are safe and will continue their essential work covering these events”.

“This incident serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers journalists can face while reporting from the frontlines of protests, underscoring the importance of their role in providing vital information,” the network added.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI – JUNE, 2025 Residents hacked a bandit to death with machetes in an act of so-called street justice. It’s unclear what the man did, but one thing is certain: he won’t be doing it again.

Due to weak state authority and widespread distrust in the justice system, people in Haiti often take the law into their own hands.

Footage not for the faint-hearted: driver crashes into moose in Tver region – animal torn in half, inside full of guts

The impact was so strong that the animal’s body was literally blown away – intestines, blood and organs were scattered all over the vehicle.

The 35-year-old man was taken to hospital with multiple injuries.

In the Moscow region, a male student jumped out of the window of a high-rise building because he scored too low on the Unified State Entrance Exam.

Amid the fiery wreckage of the Air India plane crash that devastated Ahmedabad on Thursday, one man emerged bruised, shaken and alive. Ramesh Vishwaskumar, a British citizen who was sitting in seat 11A, miraculously survived the tragedy that 241 others on board did not.

“Thirty seconds after takeoff, there was a loud bang,” he told local reporters, who gathered around him in deep disbelief. “There were dead bodies all around me. I was scared. I got up and ran. There were pieces of the plane everywhere.”

His chest, eyes and feet bore “impact wounds,” but he lived to tell the tale. In the viral video now circulating on social media, Ramesh can be seen limping away from the wreckage, his clothes torn, blood streaming down his face—a raw image of trauma and survival.

Originally from India, Ramesh has lived in London for the past 20 years with his wife and children. His return was supposed to be a brief family reunion; instead, it turned into a brush with death.

But the trauma did not end with the survival. His brother, Ajay Vishwaskumar, who was also on the same flight, is now ‘missing’. Two of Ramesh’s friends rushed to Ahmedabad from Diu, hoping for another miracle and fearing the worst. “We don’t know anything yet,” a neighbour told reporters. “It’s chaos. They are just trying to find him.”

On Thursday morning (11), a man identified as Lázaro Bruno de Carvalho, 39 years old, was stabbed to death by his own brother, a 17-year-old teenager. The incident occurred on Rua Jupia, in the Japiim neighborhood.

Police News – The body of an unidentified man was found dismembered on Monday night (9) on Alarico Furtado Street, Jorge Teixeira neighborhood, in eastern Manaus, in a context of extreme violence that suggests a dispute between criminal factions operating in the area.

According to information provided by the Military Police, the body showed signs of execution: the head and legs had been severed, and a poster with a threatening message directed at a rival criminal group was left next to the remains. The note read: “This is the fate of the PCCU. Rules CV-AM.” The acronym in question refers to a criminal group, reinforcing the theory that the crime was a message to other organizations.
