A Fullerton (Calif.) Police officer's body armor likely saved his life, after it stopped a round from a criminal gang member during an early Sunday traffic stop.
The officer was shot after pulling over a Pontiac Grand Prix at Woods and Knepp Avenues at 12:15 a.m. One round struck his ballistic vest, while several others hit the officer just outside of his vest, Sgt. Jeff Stuart told POLICE Magazine.
