As we first heard about from
YourStephenvilletx.com, American hero Chris Kyle, "The Devil of Ramadi," was murdered today at an Erath County, TX gun range.
Details are still relatively sparse, but it appears that Kyle and his neighbor were both shot between 3:30 and 4PM at Rough Creek Lodge as they helped a fellow soldier who was struggling with PTSD. The name of the second victim has not been released. The suspect, reported as Eddie Ray Routh, was captured south of Dallas in Lancaster, TX just before 9PM.
The 38 year old former Navy SEAL who served four tours of duty in Iraq (including every major battle of OIF) leaves behind a wife, two children and countless friends and brothers-in-arms.
