GUNNED DOWN

Former Navy SEAL and best-selling American Sniper author Chris Kyle was shot dead at a shooting range in Texas late Saturday night, according to police reports. Kyle, 39 and known as America’s best sharpshooter (he said his 150-plus kills prompted Iraqi insurgents to put a bounty on his head), was allegedly one of two killed at the gun range. Suspect Eddie Routh, 25, has been arrested for the shootings. Investigators say Routh, a former marine, suffered from PTSD.

TERRORISM

A suicide car bomber attacked police headquarters in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk Sunday, killing at least 33 people, according to police reports. Three additional gunmen who were disguised as officers then tried to storm the compound, but were shot dead by guards. The blast was the third major attack in weeks in or around the disputed multiethnic city at the heart of the conflict between Iraq’s central government and the autonomous Kurdistan region.

COMEBACK?

Could the Oscar underdog Argo take best picture? Ben Affleck won the 65th Directors Guild of America Award for his Iran hostage drama last night, cleaning up a sweep of top prizes from awards season. Having already won the Critics’ Choice Award for best picture and best director, a Golden Globe for best picture, a SAG award for best ensemble and a PGA for best-produced picture. No film has ever won all of the aforementioned prizes without winning best picture at the Oscars.
