Sorry to muck up your post, Chuck, but I wanted to make sure this was read before folks start replying.  There's no stopping the tinfoil, but I am going to place this here as well:

 

Sofrep says he was working with Marines with PTSD and one of them "cracked" and shot Chris and the other Marine (who was the shooter's neighbor.) He then stole Chris' car and tried to escape, but was apprehended by police and is in custody.

 

And...

Chris Kyle, a former Navy SEAL and author of the best-selling book American Sniper, and a second person were shot and killed Saturday at a gun range in Erath County, U.S. Marshals said.

Late Saturday, Lancaster police arrested a man who they say matched the description of a man wanted in connection with the slayings. After a brief chase, officers arrested 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh, according to Lancaster police spokesperson Kelly Hooten.

 

Reporting on the shootings, the Stephenville Empire-Tribune said Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant would not discuss the victims. But the newspaper said that a source working at Rough Creek Lodge, which has a gun range at which the newspaper reported the slayings occurred, confirmed that one of the victims was Kyle.

 

WFAA-TV (Channel 8) reported that Kyle was shot point-blank while helping another soldier who is recovering from post traumatic stress syndrome.

This is the third or fourth well-known person related to the firearms industry to die in such a short period of time.


That hasn't escaped my attention. Call it tin foil hattery but it is a more than little suspicious to me.

How do you find someone with a lack of respect to want to shoot this guy AND the b@lls to try it?  I mean this guy was a SEAL and ALSO the deadliest sniper.  Better hope you catch him with his back turned and DON'T MISS!

"He served four tours of duty in Iraq and was twice wounded by gunfire. He participated in every major battle in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the insurgents had a bounty on his head."


Very sad day.....truly an American hero.

Looks like the insurgents wanted him bad.
