Report: "American Sniper" Author Shot, Killed at Gun Range
A decorated former Navy SEAL who authored the book "American Sniper" was one of two people shot and killed at an Erath County shooting range Saturday, according to a newspaper report.
The Stephenville Empire-Tribune reported Saturday that Chris Kyle and another man were shot and killed at a shooting range at Rough Creek Resort and Lodge in Glen Rose late Saturday afternoon.
The other victim has not yet been identified.
The newspaper reported that Eddie Ray Routh was arrested in connection with the fatal shootings.
Empire-Tribune reporter Sara Vanden Berge told NBC 5 that it did not sound like an accidental shooting but appeared to be an intentional shooting.
Vanden Berge said Kyle was at the shooting range with the suspect and another man. She said her understanding was that Kyle had an open invitation to visit and use the range at Rough Creek and did not have a guide with him.
A source told her that the man suspected in the shootings was a veteran and may have been doing some sort of shooting therapy, she told NBC 5.
