MIDLOTHIAN - Police have released details about the 200-mile
procession planned for a former Navy SEAL sniper who was killed at a Texas
shooting range.
In a news release Saturday, Midlothian Police Chief Carl D. Smith said the
procession for Chris Kyle will begin at about 8 a.m. Tuesday at the local school
district's multi-purpose stadium. It will end at the Texas State Cemetery in
Austin. The procession will take U.S. 287 to Interstate 35E.
Police say military personnel, first responders and the Patriot Guard will
escort the procession.
Kyle earned a reputation as one of the military's most lethal snipers during
four tours of duty in Iraq. His wartime account, "American Sniper," was a
best-seller.
An Iraq War veteran is accused of fatally shooting Kyle and a friend on Feb.
