Did the officer recover?

yeah he recovered and is fine i believe he was shot about 7 or so times but all were non fatal. When the news down here reported the shooting they went into detail about our vests and how they saved his life, etc. when talking to buddies from that dept they said his vest never even got touched by a round.

yeah he recovered and is fine

Thanks. Makes me feel better.

I'm glad to hear that the officer is okay. The situation this officer was faced with is one of the reasons I tell other officers to call in all of the traffic stop information before you even light up the vehicle. That way you are focused on the vehicle and the people inside before they even know they are being pulled over.
