AMERICA - Deadliest Retired Military Sniper Killed

"Chris Kyle, Among Deadliest American Military Snipers, Shot by Fellow Veteran" PBS Newshour 2/4/2013

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour):  And to the compelling story of U.S. military veteran Chris Kyle.

Iraqi insurgents once dubbed Navy SEAL Chris Kyle the Devil of Ramadi, a man who served four tours of duty and gained a reputation as one of the deadliest snipers in U.S. military history credited with more than 150 kills.  Insurgents even put a five-figure bounty on his head.  It was never collected.

Last year, Kyle recounted his life as a sharpshooter in a bestselling book, "American Sniper."

And, just two weeks ago, he spoke of the trouble many American troops have coming home and readjusting to civilian life.

RETIRED CHIEF PETTY OFFICER CHRIS KYLE, U.S. Navy:  It's honorable.  And you're doing it for the greater good. Then, all of a sudden, you don't have an identity.

JEFFREY BROWN:  On Saturday, 38-year-old Kyle and a friend, 35-year-old Chad Littlefield, were shot dead at a gun range outside Fort Worth, Texas.
