Chris Kyle, a former Navy SEAL and author of the best-selling book American Sniper, and a second person were shot and killed Saturday at a gun range in Erath County, U.S. Marshals said.

Late Saturday, Lancaster police arrested a man who they say matched the description of a man wanted in connection with the slayings. After a brief chase, officers arrested 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh, according to Lancaster police spokesperson Kelly Hooten.

Reporting on the shootings, the Stephenville Empire-Tribune said Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant would not discuss the victims. But the newspaper said that a source working at Rough Creek Lodge, which has a gun range at which the newspaper reported the slayings occurred, confirmed that one of the victims was Kyle.

WFAA-TV (Channel 8) reported that Kyle was shot point-blank while helping another soldier who is recovering from post traumatic stress syndrome.

Erath County officials had issued an alert for authorities to be on the lookout for the gunman, who was believed to be armed and dangerous and driving a black Ford F-350 truck with large tires and rims.

The suspect was believed to be highly trained with military experience. The shooting location is 53 miles southwest of Fort Worth, according to WFAA.

Kyle grew up in Texas and spent much of his time riding horses and participating on the school rodeo team. His life quickly changed when he decided to go into the military and became a Navy SEAL. He deployed four times to Iraq. Kyle held the record for number of kills by an American sniper. The Pentagon has confirmed more than 150 of his kills. The previous record was 109. For his service, Kyle was awarded two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars with Valor. His autobiography, American Sniper, was released last year.

Very sad to see a guy like Kyle go down when there are idiots in our country that don't have the sense to appreciate their own freedoms.

The iraq war had nothing to do with my freedom of speech. We werent under attack from Iraq but thanks for proving my point.

Was it right of kyle to call another seal anti American because of his views?

Ventura was laughing about that hoax of a story, said he would meet him anywhere anytime and they could sort it out. His calls were never returned.

because Ventura has no agenda. SEAL turned actor and politician > than SEAL who writes book and by the way has the most confrmed kills in US history.

WTF does Chris Kyle have to exxagerate to be a badass? I think the confirmed body count may speak for itself right?

He added punching Ventura to the book to put him over the top?

Was part of Routh's illness is that he seemed unable to turn off being at war making him a danger to himself and/or others?

We night not ever know the answers but I think the situation is sufficiently odd to warrant asking the questions.

I am sure they took him to the gun range just to have some fun and probably didn't put a lot of thought into it.

Eh youre the one whos incapable of having an adult conversation look how quick you are to throw around insults. Are you telling me you act like this in person? If yes id say perhaps you should evalute yourself and not worry about me.

[KILLER_CLOWN]

Why don't you guys call him up, i'm sure he'd be happy to give some guys on a message board some time.

I love the people defending the stories of Ventura, the guy who lied about being in combat, was a "professional" wrestler, and is now a conspiracy theory nut.

Notice it's all Ron Paul moonbats jumping to his defense...

No. It was therapy.

Put him in a gunfire/war like situation while with people he should trust and let him know it's ok.

He obviously didn't respond how they expected
