A freshman at the University of Southern California has lost an eye after he was shot last month with a “less-lethal” projectile by a Department of Homeland Security agent at a No Kings march, according to his attorney.
On 28 March, Tucker Collins, 18, took to the streets of downtown Los Angeles to photograph throngs of protesters, who held signs and chanted slogans denouncing the Trump administration’s policies, his lawyer V James DeSimone said in a statement on Wednesday.
Collins followed behind a group that was headed toward the Metropolitan detention center, the downtown LA facility that has been a focal point for demonstrators in the past months.
In a video from that day shared by DeSimone on social media, Collins is seen holding a camera pointed toward demonstrators outside the federal facility, when suddenly he falls to his knees.
A projectile, typically used as a crowd control device, had struck Collins in his right eye, fracturing the bones in his eye socket, according to DeSimone. That eye has since been surgically removed.
