So if they are truly under fire, why nobody is trying get just a tad further away or hide their heads? Are they brave, stupid, or fake?

Wow... Pretty amazing that she continued reporting after the initial scramble for cover. Glad she wasn’t hurt badly, and glad she has a flak jacket now (one wonders how many they have, and why they all aren’t wearing them! I would!).

Damn cowards shooting an unarmed female reporter!

Lucky girl.

And a very brave girl. And not hard on the eyes either.

I just can’t imagine Perky Katie Couric doing the same.

Further info, found here:

Georgian Public Broadcast TV said on Thursday that one of its correspondents was injured by a sniper while reporting live from the checkpoint outside the strategic city of Gori.
Footage from Georgian TV showed Tamara Urushadze avoiding an unidentified object and later falling to the ground.
Crew members around her began to cry, "a bullet, a bullet" and "she got shot".
The reporter regained possession of the microphone and spoke again into the camera.
"Right now I got a shot with a bullet, but luckily I didn't receive a direct shot, it scratched my hand," she said, while showing her injured arm.
Meanwhile, another crew member helped her into a bullet-proof vest.
"Supposedly it was a sniper, because the whole day today behind us snipers were standing, I think it was some kind of a bullet. I can't say anything else right now, because we can't see anyone here and I don't know who made a shot," she said.

How come only one shot? It didn't appear they were protected from further fire.
