How to use shoot down in a sentence?
Russian President Vladimir Putin:
We have received additional data which confirm that Islamic State oil ... enters the territory of Turkey, the decision to shoot down the plane was dictated specifically by a desire to defend supplies.
We condemn this kind of behavior. It is reckless. It is provocative. It is dangerous. And under the rules of engagement that could have been a shoot-down, people need to understand that this is serious business and the United States is not going to be intimidated on the high seas. ... We are communicating to the Russians how dangerous this is and our hope is that this will never be repeated.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie:

I would never shoot down space, never, never. I would literally never shoot down anything, as long as it hits the parameters :' Is it badass ? is it awesome ? Will the audience love it ? And will it not break faith with the audience as they're watching it ?' I'm down for whatever.
Nobody has the right to traitorously shoot down a Russian plane from behind.
