Best-selling US Navy SEAL author shot dead

A former US Navy SEAL who wrote a best-selling book about his experiences as a sniper has been fatally shot along with another man on a Texas gun range.

‘American Sniper’ author Chris Kyle, 38, and a second man were found dead at Rough Creek Lodge's shooting range in Glen Rose, Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant said.

Witnesses said a gunman opened fire on the men, then fled in a pickup truck belonging to one of the victims, according to the Star-Telegram.

The newspapers said a 25-year-old man was later taken into custody in Lancaster, southeast of Dallas, and that charges were expected.

Glen Rose is about 80 miles (128 kilometers) southwest of Dallas.

Mr Kyle wrote the best-selling book, ‘American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History,’ detailing his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009.

Investigators did not immediately release the name of the second victim.

Mr Kyle was sued by former Minnesota Governer and ex-professional wrestler Jesse Ventura over a portion of the book that claims Kyle punched Ventura in a 2006 bar fight over unpatriotic remarks.

Mr Ventura says the punch never happened and that the claim by Kyle defamed him.

Mr Kyle had asked that Ventura's claims of invasion of privacy and "unjust enrichment" be dismissed, saying there was no legal basis for them.

However, a federal judge said the lawsuit should proceed. Both sides were told to be ready for trial by 1 August.

Could this be a set-up against Ventura then? At first read, the baiting is there.

Fitting end.

Killed by a 25 yr old kid by way of unexpected engagement.

Seems right.

There's a saying for this.

GLEN ROSE, Texas (AP) -- Texas authorities say a man has been charged with murder in the deaths of former Navy SEAL and author Chris Kyle and another man at a Texas gun range.

Sgt. Lonny Haschel with Texas Department of Public Safety said in a news release Sunday that 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh of Lancaster was arraigned Saturday on two counts of capital murder.

Haschel said Erath County deputies responded to a shooting at the Rough Creek Lodge at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday and found the bodies of 38-year-old Chris Kyle and 35-year-old Chad Littlefield.

Police said they believe Routh shot the two men at about 3:30 p.m. and fled. Routh was found at about 8 p.m. Saturday at his residence in Lancaster, police said.

Seems more like this scenario to me............

Upload to Disclose.tv

The guy was even writing about how he kicked Jesse Ventura's ass.........LOL.....what a pussy........going after a senior citizen in a bar...........

What, is there a SEAL-themed bar in LA somewhere?? Or is one person looking to talk to the other???

Its not that they did or didnt "Kill Osama".......its just that they keep dying in mysterious deaths, have multiple "book deals", and are being paraded around the MSM like Hero's.....

......just like they did Pat Tillman, as well as Jessica Lynch.......these guys arent very stealth at all.

There is something fishy going on......and it wasn't J.Ventura's Vendetta.........wonder how many guys this SEAL has pissed off?? He's balls enough to go talk shit to a major actor of the Industry, he probably was confronted about his front by a number of people in the past.....

.......bet this 25 yo shooter was hearing the bullshit at the range all the time, and just snapped.

bet he was a TruTV Conspiracy Theory Fan !!!!

Doesnt take long for TPTB to clean house and suddenly forget about their hero's......let's just remember who "we" are fighting for here........ :top:

I wouldn't be so hasty as to call him a scumbag. I read somewhere that Routh was a former marine, so there's a good chance that he has some sort of mental issue. Maybe he's a "war hero", too.
