were shot dead at a Texas shooting range by Eddie Ray Routh. Like Kyle, Routh was a veteran of the Iraq war and was living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that was so destabilizing that his mother reached out to Kyle for help. Kyle agreed to become the young veteran's mentor, and for their first meeting, decided to take him to a local gun range.

Kyle agreed to become the young veteran's mentor, and for their first meeting, decided to take him to a local gun range.
But on the way there, Kyle and Littlefield realized just how troubled Routh was. "This dude is straight up nuts," Kyle texted Littlefield as they drove in silence. "He's right behind me," Littlefield responded. "Watch my six." Moments after pulling into the range, Routh grabbed two of Kyle's pistols and fired 13 bullets into both men, killing them instantly.
