SAN ANTONIO, TX – According to FOXSanAntonio, at least two reporters were injured after police fired projectiles, including wooden and rubber bullets, into crowds of peaceful protesters Tuesday night.
Both reporters were in downtown San Antonio covering the protests when the incidents occurred.
Reporter Lena Blietz said the crowd was engaging in peaceful protest, with some participants kneeling in front of police, when the officers began firing into the crowd. Blietz also claimed police were using pepper spray and tear gas on the protesters.
Blietz was injured and tweeted about the incident:
THE RUBBER/PEPPER BULLETS AND TEAR GAS IS HAPPENING.
I was shot in the leg but I’m fine. Tear gas does not taste good.
Will post photos and videos and a better explanation of what happened shortly. #SanAntonioProtest #BlackLivesMattter #rubberbullets #BlackOutTuesday pic.twitter.com/LsFfSS22D5

She responded to a tweet that claimed glass bottles were being thrown at police by saying, “WHAT GLASS BOTTLES?!?!?!?!? It’s entirely possible that this happened and I didn’t see it… but it sure felt like the shooting came out of nowhere.”
