It does look funny, the way the shooting guy stands out, but sometimes digital cameras create some weird looking effects.

I also look to motive, and can't see any reason why somebody would photoshop this picture. It's easier to just shoot the picture for real. In the middle east, there's no shortage of knuckleheads with guns or idiots to stand around watching them shoot them.

Ain't that the truth plus with high birthrates you got tons of boys out in the streets (mama kicks them outdoors from their small apartments) We played with toy soldiers. These boys get to see their favorite Jihadist shooting at the enemy

Bingo.
The other detail that has me thinking this was real was the star shaped blast pattern of smoke created by the surpressor in front of the spectators.
Adding smoke might seem like a simple thing, but knowing about and editing that pattern is a tough sell.

My take - not PhotoChopped - but staged.
