Wow - pretty amazing video of Fox News' David Lee Miller reporting from Gaza...and getting shot at by what appeared to be Israeli forces. via videophone from Gaza when a shot was heard nearby - Miller ducked out of frame saying "Whoa! I think we just got fired at..." and then retreated with his crew behind their armored vehicle, continuing to report while the camera remained trained on the background. The shots come around 1:55, followed by an update from the road as Miller and crew retreated. He speculated that the shots were fired by Israeli troops to scare them off - "I think they wanted us to move" - because the Fox crew was "very, very close to their position." Miller and his crew kept impressively cool throughout. Best part of the broadcast is that they were all safe; second-best part was Steve Doocey's elegant transition to the next clip: "Completely shifting gears, are you a rotten speller...?" Hey, speling is important.
