Photojournalist Injured By Police During Protests Enters Hospice Care

Senegalese demonstrators run away during clashes with riot police as they protest against the postponement of the Feb. 25 presidential election, in Dakar

A photojournalist who was shot by Minneapolis police during the George Floyd protests in 2020 has recently entered hospice care. Linda Tirado, 42, was shot in the face with a rubber bullet, resulting in a traumatic brain injury and blindness in one eye while she was covering the unrest following Floyd's death.

Tirado recounted the harrowing experience of feeling her face explode and her goggles coming off, leaving her face burning and leaking liquid. Despite undergoing medical treatment, her condition has been deteriorating, with her friend noting that she is now in hospice care.
