Travis Cox, friend of slain “American Sniper” author (and former Navy SEAL) Chris Kyle • Discussing what he knew of the situation that led to Kyle’s death on a Texas shooting range. Cox leads Kyle’s nonprofit, FITCO Cares, and emphasized that Kyle often helped veterans in this fashion. “Chris was literally the type of guy if you were a veteran and needed help he’d help you,” Cox continued. “And from my understanding that’s what happened here. I don’t know how he came in contact with this gentleman, but I do know that it was not through the foundation.”

“No Easy Day” author speaks: Wearing a disguise and having his voice modified to hide his identity, Mark Owen, the Navy SEAL who has been outed by some media outlets, will make an appearance on “60 Minutes” tonight, in which he discusses taking photos of Osama bin Laden after his death. “I figured these were probably some of the most important photos I’d ever take in my life,” he said.
