Hollow-point bullets like the one used in the slaying of Officer Daniel Enchautegui are much deadlier than ordinary bullets - and nearly as easy to get. . . . An on-duty cop's bulletproof vest would likely provide the same protection from a hollow-point as a regular bullet.Was the officer not wearing his vest?

Was the officer not wearing his vest?No.
He was off duty, asleep at home, and was awakened around 5 AM by the sound of breaking glass next door.
He was shot once, motally, .357 in the chest; but still managed to 4 or 5 into the gunman, and 2 into the second perp before he died.

I think he was off duty and heard the robbery. He responded like a hero would.

If Officer Enchautegui is the one I'm thinking of (read it in the NY Post last week), he DID have a vest on and was shot by 'luck' in the armpit.
