Chris kyle a navy seal with over 150 confirmed kills in iraq name by insurgents as the "the devil of ramadi" who had a $20000 dollar bounty on his head was killed at the weekend along with a close friend by a fellow marine at a shooting range .If you ever read a book (american sniper)or listen to an audio book this is excellent . He has to date the highest kills on the battlefield in all the usa armed services . http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-21320750

Interesting book, but have you ever heard of Charles Upham? The only combat soldier to win the VC twice for combat. (Others have been for saving others).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Upham

His story reads like a Hollywood action movie but is true.

Do they know a motive for the killing yet?

Sounds like the shooter had mental health issues (PTSD). I'm not sure I'd want to be on a firing range with someone known to have problems.

Only in America would you take someone suffering with PTSD to a shooting range as therapy, genius.
