A former Navy SEAL known for claiming a record number of sniper killings in
Iraq was one of two men shot dead at a Texas gun range, allegedly at the
hands of a fellow military veteran, officials say.
Chris Kyle, 38, was the author of the best-selling "American Sniper." He and
35-year-old Chad Littlefield, also a veteran, were gunned down Saturday
afternoon on the grounds of the expansive Rough Creek Lodge and Resort in
Glen Rose, Texas, southwest of Fort Worth, the Texas Department of Public
Safety said.
Police later arrested suspect Eddie Ray Routh, 25, and served him with two
felony warrants for capital murder.
The three men entered the lodge around 3:15 p.m. (4:15 p.m. ET) Saturday and
went to a shooting range located within its 11,000 acres, Sheriff Tommy
Bryant of Erath County told reporters Sunday.
A hunting guide tied to the facility found Kyle and Littlefield -- both
unconscious -- around 5 p.m. and went to the lodge and called 911, Bryant
said. Sheriff's deputies arrived soon after and determined that the two
veterans had been shot dead. It was until about four hours later that the
suspect was taken into custody. |
