Chris Kyle was shot and killed at a shooting range at the Rough Creek Lodge in Texas, murdered along with a second individual.

Chris had been volunteering his time to help Marine Corps veterans suffering from PTSD and mentoring them. Part of this process involved taking these veterans to the range where one of them snapped and killed Chris and his neighbor for reasons that remain unknown at this time. The perpetrator then stole Chris’ vehicle in an attempt to escape but we have received word that the police have since arrested him.

Chris Kyle served as a sniper in the US Navy SEALs and is best known to the American public from writing his memoir, “American Sniper.” After his service, Chris ran a training program called The Craft. Although recognized as America’s deadliest sniper, Chris was known to friends as a very down to earth and humble man.

R.I.P. Chris... I've seen the devastation of PTSD, on some of my fellow Brothers-in-Arms, personally. The thousand yard stare..I still visit a friend, at the VA, 43 years later.

I saw that this morning on Yahoo, he has over 150 kills to his name. I would like to know why that idiot shot him and his friend. Somebody needs to take care of him now.

According to the news this morning, he is legendary among snipers for the following ....

"In 2008 outside Sadr City, he made his longest successful shot, after he spotted an insurgent with a rocket launcher near a U.S. Army convoy at a range of 2,100 yards (~1.9 km)(~1.2 miles). He fired a shot from his Lapua Magnum PGM .338 rifle, killing the insurgent as told in his book American Sniper."

He was the most lethal sniper in United States military history, with 160 confirmed kills (out of 255 claimed kills).
