Chris Kyle, ex-SEAL Author, Murdered

Post by Excaliber »

This is truly a tragic loss to the shooting community.

It is particularly shocking to me because I am currently reading his excellent gunfighting book"Stay in the Fight" right now.

Oh my goodness :shock: . Prayers for his family. Sounds like there's another nut-job on the loose.

This news saddened me when I heard it last night. I have just finished reading his first book.
We have lost a true American warrior, and a good man.
My prayers and sympathy go out to his wife and children.

Fox News just said they were both shot in the back. On a side note, how's the "Stay in the fight" book so far?
