Court sees video of ‘Sniper’ suspect

Police video played in court Thursday showed a former Marine telling officers investigating the deaths of two men including “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle that he had “taken a couple of souls” and had more to take. The recording shows police in Lancaster, near Dallas, trying to coax Eddie Ray Routh from a pickup in the hours after famed Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were found dead at a shooting range in February 2013. Officers in the video are seen trying to talk Routh into surrendering as he makes comments such as, “Anarchy has been killing the world.” “He told us he’d taken a couple of souls and he had more souls to take,” Lancaster police Lt. Michael Smith testified Thursday.
