From the wound it looks like the bullet just streaked by her left wrist, she was lucky. Probably a long range shot from a russian sniper who recognized her and took the opportunity.

That's one upside to modern real-time combat reporting. Your chances of actually getting to shoot someone in the media are greatly increased.

She wasn't moving a whole lot either. Sniper was either a very poor marksman or it was a richochet.

I really hope that you people don't think that shooting someone is such a minor thing that it should be laughed at.

WOW - five shots made by a sniper and nobody ran for cover or tried to hide from fire instead of standing on the road ???

Pathetic fake

P.S. I don't like the girl either :)

I will say, it does look like a fake. Ive seen videos of people being shot before. Ive been shot by a paintball gun, and I certainly react a LOT more than this woman. Notice two things: She gets hit by SOMETHING and simply SLOWLY staggers to the side. Next, you don't see any sign of a wound until quite a bit later, when she is safely sitting in the car seemingly ignoring all pain whatsoever. That was NOT a bullet. It wasn't a fragment or a ricochet. If you got hit with anything like that, you would JUMP or show some sign of SURPRISE not just stagger to one side, and walk back to the middle of the shot.
