'Sorry aboot that, eh' — Canadian sniper apologizes after record-breaking kill shot

Filed · 1535

OTTAWA — A Canadian sniper apologized today after he was confirmed to have scored the longest lethal shot on record, according to sources.

The sniper, whose identity is being withheld for operational security reasons, said he was sorry both to the ISIS fighter he killed and to the former record-holder, British soldier Craig Harrison, whose record his 2.2-mile shot smashed by over 3,000 feet.

"Sorry aboot that, eh," the sniper supposedly said as the .50 caliber round ripped through the insurgent's thoracic cavity. "I thought that was a dern moose, friend."
