Former Navy SEAL and “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle, 38, was shot to death by an ex-Marine veteran at a Texas gun range on Sunday. The gunman, 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh, also shot and killed another man during the incident, Chad Littlefield, 35.
In his best-selling book, Kyle detailed his life as a sniper in Iraq, claiming that he had taken more lives than most snipers – over 150. Kyle had served four tours in Iraq with the Navy Seals. According to friends of the victim, Kyle and Routh had occasionally spent time together and were considered “workout buddies.”
Here, Joe discusses the questions Kyle’s death raises, including the conspiracy theories surrounding Navy SEALs as reported by mainstream media.
Kyle had gotten into a physical dispute with former Minnesota governor and conspiracy theorist Jesse Ventura. Ventura was in the process of suing Kyle for defamation.
