The incidents above are all from Saturday into early Sunday but must also include in this thread, this from photographer @killermartinis in Minneapolis who was shot and blinded in her left eye Friday night https://twitter.com/FrancesRobles/status/1266929056681005058?s=20
And Friday saw more attacks on journalists but from protestors too, for those who missed that @Poynter @atompkins https://www.poynter.org/reporting-editing/2020/journalists-covering-nights-of-protests-and-unrest-found-themselves-under-attack/
I don't have a ton of context on this but this is from MSNBC live air earlier in Minneapolis as well. News crew is clearly walking away from police and appears to be shot at with something, unclear what https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1266910910137995264?s=20
I have to get some sleep but will continue updating this as I get more reports, sadly I am sure there are more and please keep sharing them in the replies, thank you for the help. I hope all the reporters working overnight stay safe and thank you for all that you are doing.
Back with a few more that others alerted me to overnight, thank you to those who are helping me compile...

German TV @dwnews reporter Stefan Simons (a friend of mine and former colleague at CNN) and photographer Max Foerg also shot at while reporting live, with, I'm assuming, rubber bullets as that's been reported by other journalists in Minnesota as well https://twitter.com/dwnews/status/1267119897806397442?s=20
New tonight: @nydailynews reporter @noah_goldberg hit with baton by NYPD while filming in Brooklyn, although it’s hard to tell if he was targeted given how heated this situation is https://twitter.com/noah__goldberg/status/1267285022031130625?s=21
Also in New York, @wsj reporter @tylergabriel_ hit in the face multiple times by NYPD with his hands up and press badge clearly visible https://twitter.com/tylergabriel_/status/1267287516345925632?s=20

Will try my best to keep this going. I'm relieved there seemed to be fewer instances tonight of attacks on journalists by cops, although I know west coast will be up for a while. Pls continue sharing stories you see to add to this thread. Everyone stay safe.
Another incident on Saturday night in Minneapolis: @reuters cameraman Julio-Cesar Chavez and security advisor Rodney Seward hit by rubber bullets shot by police; Seward was hit in the face. Both were clearly members of the press, per Reuters. https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/1267168895728828416?s=20
