Footage of Georgian TV journalist fired upon during report

[video:youtube:-ETQpCsvrIY] A Georgian TV journalist is apparently fired upon by a Russian sniper and injured while delivering a piece to camera. Fortunately, she's soon patched up and back on with the job. UPDATE: I see Reuters have now picked up on the video:
A correspondent working for Georgian state television was injured in a shooting incident outside the town of Gori on Thursday. The reporter was about to go live to air when the shot was fired, slightly injuring her in the left arm. The correspondent and her camerman were forced to run for cover behind a vehicle. The injured reporter was given first aid by a Reuters Televison producer who was nearby. link
