A U.S. journalist shot by police while covering the 2020 protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis is dying of her injuries.

NPR reports a "nonlethal" foam plastic bullet hit Linda Tirado, 42, in the eye — even though she was wearing protective goggles and press credentials. "While we she has battled, her condition has continued to worsen to the point she is at life's end and receiving palliative care," the National Press Club said in a statement.
