Georgian reporter Tamara Urushadz was doing a live broadcast from Gori, Georgia when she was shot by a Russian sniper. Incredibly, Tamara kept on reporting!
Tamara Urushadze took a bullet to her left arm in the flashpoint town of Gori as Russian forces continued their illegal occupation.
Bravely, or foolishly, the 32-year-old brunette continued her report after a few moments as other journalists and aid workers dashed for cover.
Siege-town Gori has become a deadly ‘sniper’s alley’ with citizens at the mercy of rampaging militiamen – believed to be from the breakaway republic South Ossetia – looting and firing guns, some drunkenly.
On Sunday video footage caught reporters from two Turkish stations ducking and saying their last prayers as they were fired upon by Russian snipers.
Talk about bravery and determination:
Rob Farrington says: I saw this the other day at Misha’s site and I was speechless for a while, before cheering…I mean, I know that people are capable of this kind of gumption (sorry if you don’t have that word over in the colonies!) and soldiers show it every day, but I generally have such a low opinion of reporters these days, that this came as a pleasant surprise.
That girl, what’s that word, again?…RAWKS! If I was female, I’d probably want to have her children.
Er…now I think I’m getting confused, as usual. Now, where did I put that pink pill, again?
