That's a very long shot - robkelk - 06-23-2017
Canadian sniper kills Islamic State terrorist from 3.45km (over 2 miles) away.
Apparently, this is a new record for a successful long-range sniper shot off the practice range.

Wait, what?! A Canadian soldier shot someone? Is he going to be court-martialed for this?

"That is something that is integral to this mission. And that is something that has always been followed."--
