As the protests in the US against the killing of George Floyd entered its eighth day, TRT World journalists came in the line of fire in the states of Washington and Minneapolis. Police on Wednesday used rubber bullets to disperse protests against the killing the 46-year-old black man by a white police officer. Sally Ayhan, the Washington correspondent of TRT World, was injured in the chest and leg by plastic bullets during live coverage. Another correspondent, Lionel Donovan and cameramen Barbaros Sayilgan from Minneapolis also came under attack. Donovan was injured when a bullet targeted his groin.
