I'm glad that the officers are alright.

Im glad the officer is okay. We don't need another line of duty death right now

It's good to have some good news for a change! Boy, I bet that rung the officer's bell but it's still much better than the alternative.

This is good stuff - I'll be posting this on my site tomorrow morning.

I have a Kevlar helmet. I hope I am not in the minority on that.

Nice to see that the dirtbag decided to save the taxpayers some money. Bye Bye Dirtbag.

As pgg said, we don't need anymore LODD's right now. The officer that was shot, got right back up and wanted to get back to work. That helmet should be put on display at the next safety conference.

Dangerfield and her friend went out to her car but Williams followed with his gun. Dangerfield's friend, who had a concealed carry permit, pulled out his gun and fired a shot at Williams. The gun then jammed and the friend ran off. Police believe that is when Williams shot Dangerfield to death.

Police haven't commented on a motive for Dangerfield's murder. But a check of court records shows that Williams faced charges of assault and domestic violence in June for an incident involving Dangerfield. The affidavit for that case shows that Williams was accused of kicking and punching Dangerfield in the head, causing "serious injury." At the time, Williams was released on bond and had a electronic home monitor but the charges were dismissed a month later. Williams has a long criminal history with charges for aggravated menacing and drugs.

Seems that the dirtbag had quite the record. Somehow it appears that the young lady and her friend were expecting a confrontation with the dirtbag.

Interesting that the friend had a CCW, He chose to use the weapon against the dirtbag and it jammed? How about keeping your handgun in good repair, otherwise why carry it.

I've never seen a kevlar helmet here

The news update this morning showed the helmet, two shot looked to be just above the ear. If I can find the link to it I'll post it.

No helmets for us road warriors, but our SWAT teams have them........

Hats off to the kevlar helmet and the officer who wore it!

Me neither. Heck, my dept. didn't give me a vest...I got a hand me down from the SO. How much does one cost?

Same here. I wonder how much one cost and if we can find it on a grant/surplus deal. It really wouldn't be a bad idea for all sworn officers to have one close at hand.

We are not issued kevlar helmets. After I went to a very realistic active shooter school that was held in an old school I bought the helmet and an entry vest. They were expensive, a tax write off, and (if I ever need either) they will be worth every penny.
