AmericanSnipers.Org Stuns Chris Kyle's Widow at SHOT Show [Full Video]

Taya Kyle, the widow of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle, stopped by the AmericanSnipers.org booth at the 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas on Friday to draw some of the winning numbers in a five-gun raffle, with the grand prize being a .338 Lapua rifle just like the one that Chris used for his longest shot.

She momentarily stunned when she was informed that the $62,000 raised in the raffle would go to support her family.

While we’ve seen other videos that capture Taya’s reaction after she was told that the raffle was to benefit her family, this is the only one that we’ve seen that captures the moments leading up to the drawing and the announcement itself.
