    She’s laughing it off because she is relatively young, in good shape, has media training… and is in all likelihood currently in shock, flooded with adrenaline.

    Within 6 hours she will have a bruise the diameter of a soccer ball, and she almost certainly has a or multiple fractured bones, though they are likely hairline, fissure or impacted partial fractures, not complete breaks.

    EDIT: Reporter must be made of steel you say?

      She’s also working for a right leaning network.

        Ah, I missed that, my default human empathy response still generally doesn’t like seeing people shot for no good reason.
