Journalist documenting protest blinded in one eye by rubber bullet

A journalist documenting the Minneapolis protests has been left blind in one eye after being bit by what she believes was a rubber bullet or marking round on Friday.

Linda Tirado took to Twitter to tell how she has been left with life-changing injuries while attending the rally protesting the death of George Floyd. She was there photographing the protest when police were tear-gassing. She put on goggles and a respirator when suddenly "I kind of felt my face explode." Tirado said.
