Navy SEAL and American Hero Chris Kyle Killed

February 3, 2013 Navy SEAL and American Hero Chris Kyle Killed
Mark Divine No Comments SEAL News

Today former Navy SEAL Sniper 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.

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.
