AFP has published a GoPro camera video filmed by Xavier Léoty, one of its freelance photojournalists, who was highlighting the ongoing "yellow vest" protests on 14 January, depicting how he was shot in the knee by a low-velocity weapon, which usually stands for handguns or crossbows. It's unclear who shot him, but several protesters can be seen rushing to help the journalist.
