'America's most lethal sniper' dead: Best-selling author and ex Navy SEAL shot at gun range

Former US Navy SEAL and best-selling author Chris Kyle has been shot dead along with another man on a gun range, police in Texas said.

Newspaper reports said Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant had confirmed that Kyle, 38, who wrote the book 'American Sniper', and a second man were found dead yesterday afternoon at Rough Creek Lodge's shooting range, west of Glen Rose, about an hour south west of Fort Worth.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram said witnesses told sheriff's investigators that a gunman opened fire on the men and fled in a pick-up truck belonging to one of the victims.

According to reports, a 25-year-old man was later taken into custody in Lancaster, south east of Dallas.

The motive for the killings was unclear.

'American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History' details Kyle's four combat tours of duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars he was awarded for bravery. It has been claimed he killed 160 people during his career.

Try it. He goes in alone, maybe one other person, behind the lines and unsupported. Then he squats in the bush for days or weeks, waiting for that golden second. Then, after the shit is good and stirred, he has to get back out. That's the pointy end of the stick.
