Man Who Shot Usama bin Laden Speaks Out In Exclusive Fox News Interview -- FOX News

The former Navy SEAL who shot and killed Usama bin Laden tells Fox News’ Peter Doocy in an exclusive interview that it was "just luck" he ended up being the man to pull the trigger.

In part two of “The Man Who Killed Usama bin Laden," airing Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET, Rob O'Neill says it was just chance that he ended up being the shooter in the famous mission at bin Laden's compound in Pakistan in 2011.

He also describes the team's harrowing 90-minute flight back to Afghanistan after completing the raid.

"Eighty-something minutes into it, somebody came over the radio to everybody and said, 'Alright gentleman for the first time in your lives you’re going to be happy to hear this…welcome to Afghanistan,’” he says. “And everyone was like; oh my God…we just did it. We just pulled it off and we got him. And we all lived. We’re all fine. It was insane. So then, there was high-fiving and stuff. Guys were, cause I mean, we got Usama bin Laden and we’re going to live…amazing."

A year ago, I hosted a launch party in New York for my new book.
