Police gather at the scene of a fatal shooting at a gun range in Texas.

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle was shot and killed along with another man at the Rough Creek Lodge on Saturday (February 2).

Kyle had written a book about his military career, and is considered one of America's deadliest snipers.

Twenty-five-year-old Eddie Ray Routh has been been arrested for the shootings.

Local media reports say he's a former marine, who suffered from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

It's believed Kyle and the second victim were volunteering to help veterans with PTSD.
