Su-35 was shot down, that is confirmed, but the interesting rumour is that it was shot down by a F-16.

Would this be the first time an F-16 has destroyed another jet in the skies?

It would seem sad if true, however they are probably wanting the pilots to be ready before they are sent to take out planes.
