RIP: Chris Kyle
Forums › General Discussion › RIP: Chris Kyle-
Considered the most lethal US sniper in history, has passed away this evening. He was apparently shot at a charity event for wounded vets.
He lives near my hometown and was to be honored as a distinguished alumni from my university.
I'm still getting information from family back at home.
-
From what I am being told, he and another person were shot and killed. I believe the suspect has been caught.
I'm being told that the shooter took Chris' truck during his escape.

Sucks 👿

Wow...255 confirmed kills. This is terrible. I just learned about him this summer on the tv show "Stars Earn Stripes." When I saw this thread I thought that this couldn't be true. RIP 🇺🇸

The person who shot him should be treated like traitor.
R.I.P -
Live by the gun, die by the gun

Just shows how fickle life can be. The man spent most of his life shooting enemies probably from distance, overseas on foreign soil. He gets shot point blank back home.

This is sad. Sorry for your loss.

RIP Chris. The military will never have someone as great as you again.

Tw has a few that are top in Chris Kyle's art. I am proud to know them (and really glad they are allies ;) ).

Few more details coming out. Apparently shot in the back by a traitor who was a marine. The suspect was caught in Lancaster. All I got so far.

GLEN ROSE, Texas (AP) - Former Navy SEAL and "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle was fatally shot along with another man Saturday on a Texas gun range, a sheriff told local newspapers.
Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant said Kyle, 38, and a second man were found dead at Rough Creek Lodge's shooting range west of Glen Rose, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Stephenville Empire-Tribune. Glen Rose is about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
Bryant did not immediately return phone calls to The Associated Press seeking comment late Saturday and early Sunday. A woman who answered the phone at the lodge where the shooting occurred declined comment and referred calls to the sheriff's office.

Investigators did not immediately release the name of the second victim, according to the newspapers.
Witnesses told sheriff's investigators that a gunman opened fire on the men around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, then fled in a pickup truck belonging to 1 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.
Lancaster police did not immediately return calls for comment.
The motive for the shooting was unclear.
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.

If you get the chance, read his book. He also describes getting the longest confirmed American sniper kill.

I actually got a signed copy of that book for Christmas.
