Reports are that she was shot by a Basij militia member. The Basij are a volunteer paramilitary force working under the Revolutionary Guard. Analogous to the National Guard in the US, I suppose.
There have been many reports of violence perpetrated by the Basij, as well as reports of victims arriving at hospital dead or wounded by gunfire. The Basij is acting to suppress and disperse rioters, and seem to be prone to using lethal force to do so.
