What was motive to kill the 'American Sniper?' by Jessica Sheinfeld

What was motive to kill the 'American Sniper?'

By Jessica Sheinfeld


It is still not certain why former marine Eddie Ray Routh shot and killed also former marines Chris 

Kyle and Chad Littlefield.  Right now it is being said that Eddie Ray Routh has intense Post 

Traumatic Stress Disorder and a personality disorder leading him to shooting and killing the two 

men, but not really understanding or knowing his motives behind it.  He shot Chris Kyle 4 times in 

the back and once in the face and he shot Chad Littlefield 5 times in the back.  The trial is still 

underway to find out for sure what the reasoning for all this was, but for now this is where the trial 

stands. 


I wish I knew the whole story behind events leading up to moments before the shooting because I 

know PTSD can be triggered in instances and can lead people to acting crazy.  I'm wondering if the 

sound of the gun shots brought back bad memories for Eddie and he snapped and shot at them to 

stop it or if what he did was a malicious act towards Chris and Chad.  Either way I think this was 

awful and Eddie should probably be locked up being treated or put into jail.
