Public shootings of 2013
Navy SEAL shooting
Iraq War veteran Eddie Ray Routh, seen above, was charged in the murders of former Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle and friend, Chad Littlefield. Authorities say Routh, 25, turned a gun on Kyle, who wrote the best-selling book "American Sniper," and Littlefield at Rough Creek Lodge, a Texas shooting range about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth on Feb. 2, 2013. The Associated Press reported that Kyle, 38, and Littlefield, 35, had taken Routh to the range to try to help him work through his PTSD. It is unclear what Routh's motive was for the murders.
