WHEN THE BEST OFFENSE IS A GOOD DEFENSE: BODY ARMOR MOVES BEYOND THE VEST

摘要

Senior Deputy Robert Riggs watched as the men surrounded the squad car and opened fire, covering the car-and his partner-in a swarm of bullets. The armor-paneled doors withstood the attack, but the glass in the driver's side window blew out, leaving Riggs' partner's head vulnerable. His partner raised his hands to protect his face and head, taking bullet wounds to his hands in the process, while also firing his own weapon. Ultimately, he survived the attack, with his ballistic retaliation likely saving his life.
