Upon reading the article it appears that they actually did have the person being shot wear the vest rather than the shooter so they had that part figured out.

I’d say those kids should not get off with merely serving time in jail or prison. Compulsory labor is what they should be given since they can’t make productive use of their time on their own.

The future of the country is slightly improved now.

When I was 16 I did some dumb things.
But I was never THIS dumb.

I knew 2 kids in 7th grade (1973) that were out plinking with their wrist rocket slingshots and BB's. They got bored and decided to start shooting each other. One of them got hit in the temple with a BB and the fun was over so they each went home. The one that got hit told his mom he was going to lay down for a while and when dinner was ready, she tried to wake him up. He was deader than $#!+

My Dad and my Uncle taught us gun safety at an early age. I think I was about 10 when my grandpa gave me a single shot Winchester 22 rifle. They used the Boot Method. Violate a Rule: Get the Boot. We would never have dreamed of pointing a gun, even a BBgun at one another.

This is why we have the Darwin Awards...

From the article:

In the video, Broad is allegedly seen firing a single shot at Vining — who was wearing the vest — as Whitler stood nearby. After Broad and Vining switched roles, Vining shot Broad in the vest once, Broad nodded, and Vining then shot Broad four more times, police said.

A vest can only stop so many bullets before it fails.

Went over to kids place yesterday, the roommate was kitted out with full vest and a bunch of standard capacity magazines.

I was like, umm I came to help my kid change his brakes, Is there something I should be aware of ?

Are you expecting other company?

roommate said I just got this yesterday and I am testing fit and comfort, fortunately did not ask me to shoot him.

I worked a couple of summers at a paper mill in maintenance. Plant manager instituted bump hats for all of us unless we were doing something that required a hard hat. One day a fellow was taking a break, sitting on a bench. Another guy figured he’d see how good the bump hat was. Hit the fellow with a hammer. Passed out briefly from the blow. He was ok, fortunately. I think the fellow with the hammer got a good talkin’ too.

The confusing story still doesn’t say HOW the kid was shot!

WHERE the kid was shot.

WHY the kid was killed.

I’ll GUESS. It doesn’t say how close together the FOUR additional shots were fired, but I’ll guess muzzle jump. Probably shot him ABOVE the vest.

It would be interesting to get some actual DETAILS from a story.

Nothing can be made idiot proof only at best idiot resistant as total idiots are very resourceful.
