LOL!
Background to this ABC World News tweet: they aired footage of a supposed firefight along the Syrian border. Multiple sources of full auto fire using tracers, impressive explosions and fireballs.
The footage turned out to be from the annual full-auto event at the Knob Creek shooting range, in Kentucky.
Fake news, anyone?
UPDATE: more on this.

CDR D,
I too remember the exploding pickup truck as well as the Broward County Florida Sheriff shooting a fully automatic rifle in a 2003 CNN hit piece about the soon to expire, semi-automatic "assault weapons" ban.
Fake news goes way back but, at least in the old days they made their own fake news. Now they just copy and paste their fake news.
Typical. They do this sort of thing a lot, more than we know I'm sure. I'm old enough to remember the famous NBC "exploding pick-up" farce.
