‘American Sniper’ Chris Kyle shot dead in a post-combat world

(MCT) — Military sniper Chris Kyle had survived the dust-worn places where he had to worry about enemy fire — or even friendly fire — until this weekend.

Kyle, 38, an author and former Navy SEAL, was shot dead Saturday by an unemployed, 25-year-old Marine veteran, Texas officials said Sunday. Kyle’s friend Chad Littlefield, 35, was also killed. No one witnessed the shootings, authorities said.
