Preparations for Kyle Memorial at Cowboys Stadium
A memorial service for Chris Kyle is planned for Monday, Feb. 11.
Family and friends will say goodbye on Friday to a husband and father gunned down at a shooting range last weekend.
The funeral for Chad Littlefield will be at the First Baptist Church in Midlothian at 2 p.m., Friday.
A flag line and processional is scheduled to move from the church to Mount Zion Cemetery for Littlefield's burial, according to an e-mail sent to NBC 5.
The 38-year-old is survived by his wife and daughter.
Littlefield and his close friend and neighbor Chris Kyle were at the Rough Creek Lodge gun range on Feb. 2 to help veteran Eddie Ray Routh, who was struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after his tour of duty. Littlefield was there to help provide support to the veteran.
Police say Routh shot Littlefield and Kyle multiple times at the gun range. Officers said Routh thought the men were out to get him and believed he needed to kill them first.
Preperations Underway for "American Sniper" Memorial
Arlington police are anticipating anywhere from 5,000 to 15,000 people for Monday's memorial service at Cowboys Stadium for former Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle.
Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. for the 1 p.m. service. Parking is free at Lots 1, 2, and 10, closest to Randol Mill Road and North Collins Street. Attendees can enter through gates A and K on the north side of the stadium.
Cameras, bags, purses and other substantial handheld items will not be allowed in for security reasons.
Kyle's family has asked that no one take pictures at the service.
On Tuesday, a 200-mile procession is planned as Kyle makes his way to his final resisting place.
As NBC 5 first reported, Kyle will be buried at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin.
A motorcycle procession will leave Midlothian by 8 a.m. and take U.S. Route 287 to Interstate 35 into Austin.
Volunteers with the Patriot Guard Riders will lead the procession. They are encouraging people in cities along the route to come out and show their support.
A trust fund for the families of both victims has been established. The public can make donations at http://www.thecraft.com.
