Gregory Rodriguez, the host of the Sportsman Channel show The Rifleman's Journey, was killed Friday night, the victim of a murder-suicide by an apparently jealous husband, according to Montana police. Rodriguez, who is also an editor at Shooting Times Magazine and a contributing editor at Petersen's Hunting, Guns & Ammo, was visiting a woman at the woman's mother's home in Whitefish, Montana when Wayne Bengston, the woman's husband, showed up.
