RIP Navy SEAL Sniper Chris Kyle 1974-2013
« on: February 02, 2013, 11:29:55 PM »
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.

What a senseless way to go after 4+ tours, multiple combat injuries, a huge purse on his head by the insurgents and everything else.


Best wishes to Chris' friends and family.
