Damn! He did seek like a great guy.
I'm shocked that this happened at Rough Creek. I've been hunting there as a guest. It is upscale even by TX.standards. Private helipad in front of the lodge. Five star restaurant and a women's spa.
With all.the firearms in play there, not exactly a low risk place for a hit. Glen Rose is not close to any major city-IIRC about two plus hours from Dallas. In the Hill country but pretty open territory.
Pretty sure the place has security cameras all over with the clientele they cater to.

RIP sir.
I'm so terribly saddened. I read his book, he looked like a great guy. My thoughts are with his family.

This report says he was using the range helping some Marines with PTSD. Hope that's not the case.
They have the shooter in custody- Eddie Ray Routh.

 Rest in Peace, Chris Kyle. One of my good friends who is a former SEAL had the honor of working with him in Iraq and had nothing but good things to say about him.

I'm just a humble civilian, with that said, I wish to give my condolences to Kyle's wife, children, family and anyone of you who served with him. He was great at what he did and will never be forgotten. RIP Chris Kyle
