#1 Fully automatic rifle?
My untrained ears hear a semi-automatic rifle going pop pop and another, presumably military select fire, in pew-pew-pew mode.

#2 First rifle was definitely full auto firing 3 round burst. Dummy didn't have the 100 round drum magazine secure and it fell out after the first burst (Cops say thank you for the fingerprints on the magazine). Shooter then fires backup pistol.

Two? or so years ago, Customs was intercepting shipments from China that converted AR-15s to full auto. Guess we know where one ended up.

#3 Or that rifle "fell off" a National Guard, police, or Army truck. Or was looted from a rail car -- Chicago gangs have people working inside the rail companies so they know of any such opportunities.

#5 BTW you can own a automatic weapon, just got to pay a hefty license fee. How do you think those auto weapons end up in hollyweird movies.

#7 how can you tell what was going on? i counted no fewer than 10 times the media played the clip of the 3 round burst over and over and interspersed with other audio clips.

to make it sound more deadly?

and another example of why the media cannot be trusted.

That was a problem I had. It was like they were trying to edit the incident into the Battle of Mogadishu.
