I read the other "suspect" is in custody -- age 16. Interesting blog comments to the articles on this shooting and it's so sad, this kid was 25 years old and from Oceanside, just wanted to make a difference.
There are a LOT of comments on that article and I just read some of them. It's a horrible tragedy for the fallen officer, his family, his friends... I think the perps are learning how to shoot around the vest.
Last June, an LAPD officer was shot in the line of duty. The bullet went in just at the edge of her vest, at the armhole and ricocheted off her spine. She survived but is paraplegic. Her daughter, her first child, was 15 months old at the time (now 21 months) and her husband is LAPD too.
