” “Due to body armor, head-shots only,” one officer said over the radio about a half-hour into the shooting.”
Apparently they removed that armor leaving him in skivvies.
The SAS trains in head shots. Body armor will stop all pistol rounds except the special 5.7 X 28.
If you research the North Hollywood bank shootout of 1997, the brave LEOs were not proficient enough with their handguns and should have brought those perps down right away with proper Mozambique drills.
They had to borrow ARs from gun stores. A SWAT guy finally got one with a foot shot under the cars the perp was using for cover. The other perp offed himself with a pistol to his noggin. Both perps had sewn up full body armor for themselves and had modified their AKs to full auto.
The cops let the perp they shot bleed out while they secured the area before letting in medics. Boo hoo.
