Canadian sniper shatters world record by killing IS fighter with bullet fired 3.5km awayGETTY Iraqi forces were under attack when the Canadian pulled the trigger (file photo). A Canadian sniper has reportedly killed an Islamic State fighter in Iraq with a bullet fired more than 3 kilometres away. It's a shot that has stunned the military world, and, if confirmed, would shatter the current world record for a kill shot in military combat by almost a kilometre. The world record was previously held by British sniper Craig Harrison. It is a world record that might never be equalled."
