Famed Navy seal Chris Kyle fatally shot
 
http://www.khou.com/news/texas-news/...189539281.html

Details sketchy, but initial info seems to indicate Chris Kyle was with two veterans at a shooting range when one of the men, a former marine turned his gun on Chris and another individual killing them both before fleeing.

Police have arrested the shooter

This is sad. I liked Chris Kyle.

May he rest in peace.

Apparently all three men knew each other and the gunman fled in a truck owned by one of the victims.Sounds to me like the gunman had (or perceived) some sort of dispute with one of the men that he killed it also sounds pretty planned a gun range is a perfect place to get the jump on someone strange as that mat seem who would expect a person perceived to be a friend as a deadly threat typically speaking you go to a gun range with people that you know well.

I am not sure about the whole PTSD thing I think that is just the media doing their thing.

It was not some professional hit if you think that you watch too many movies and TV shows.

To be honest I had never heard of Kyle before still it is lousy when anyone gets murdered when they survived so much already.

I think it's lousy when anyone gets murdered, period.

Tragic...but at least they have the killer in custody.

Very tragic and the circumstances make it even more so.:nope:

Agreed.

Well, there goes the pro-gun argument that there's never a shooting at a gun range. :-?

No?

Murder and suicide like this might as well happen at home or any place else.
And probably there are a lot of similar cases since then.
Why post link to 2009 article?

Not exactly a random shooting when the victims and killer knew each other, just saying.

So pupils that do shootings at their own schools and workers who go postal in their workplace are not random shootings either?
