Another Georgian journalist shot

Euronews captures what it is says is a Russian military official shooting a female Georgian journalist in the arm in or near the Georgian town of Gori. This appears to be a seperate incident from the one mentioned in the previous post where another female Georgian journalist was shot in the arm while broadcasting live on Georgian TV. Click the image above to watch the Euronews footage. What's disturbing about this footage is that it appears the Russian soldier deliberately targets the journalist. There are eerie reminders of Al-Jazeera's excellent Shooting the Messenger documentary. UPDATE: This Guardian video appears to join both shootings together in one short film. They are clearly separate incidents.
