GLEN ROSE, Texas - Former Navy SEAL and "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle
was fatally shot along with another man Saturday on a Texas gun range, a
sheriff told local newspapers.

Erath County Sheriff Tommy Bryant said Kyle, 38, and a second man were found
dead at Rough Creek Lodge's shooting range west of Glen Rose, according to
the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Stephenville Empire-Tribune. Glen Rose is
about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth.

Bryant did not immediately return phone calls to The Associated Press
seeking comment late Saturday and early Sunday.

Investigators did not immediately release the name of the second victim.

Witnesses told sheriff's investigators that a gunman opened fire on the men
around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, then fled in a pickup truck belonging to one of
the victims, according to the Star-Telegram. The newspapers said a
25-year-old man was later taken into custody in Lancaster, southeast of
Dallas, and that charges were expected.

Lancaster police did not immediately return calls for comment.

The motive for the shooting was unclear.

Kyle wrote the bestselling book, "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the
Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History," detailing his 150-plus kills
of insurgents from 1999 to 2009.

Kyle was sued by former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura over a portion of the
book that claims Kyle punched Ventura in a 2006 bar fight over unpatriotic
remarks. Ventura says the punch never happened and that the claim by Kyle
defamed him.

Kyle had asked that Ventura's claims of invasion of privacy and "unjust
enrichment" be dismissed, saying there was no legal basis for them. But a
federal judge said the lawsuit should proceed. Both sides were told to be
ready for trial by Aug. 1.
