XCR1250 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Florida teen killed while friends were taking turns shooting one another in bulletproof vest, police say Lawrence Richard Sat, April 9, 2022, 1:16 AM A Florida boy, 16, was killed this week after he and at least two others took turns shooting one another while wearing body armor, officials said. Joshua Vining and Colton Whitler, both 17, were arrested Thursday and are being tried as adults in connection with the shooting incident Sunday in Belleview (about 70 miles northwest of Orlando), where Christopher Leroy Broad Jr. was killed, according to the Belleview Police Department. Officers said they responded to a dispatch call where they found the boy in the residence with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital where he later died, police said. A video of the incident was recorded by 18-year-old Evan Vowell, who was allegedly at the home at the time of the incident, and later provided the video to law enforcement, Click Orlando reported. Vowell told police that Vining initiated the shooting game after he produced a firearm and a bulletproof vest, asking if they "had ever seen anyone get shot with a bulletproof vest on," officials said. Investigators determined Vowell’s statement to be true after Whitmer initially misled police, saying "my house just got shot up, my friend got shot in the chest," according to affidavits before he called the police. In a later statement, Whitler said Vowell shot Broad Jr., but the evidence did not support this claim, police said. Police charged Vining with aggravated manslaughter of a child with a firearm and Whitler was charged with providing false information to law enforcement, both as adults. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry 976 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Blame it on social media, I seen videos on Y-tube showing the owner on a body armor company wearing his product and being shot while wearing it. Posting and saying it as many times as anyone wants "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME" does not stop stupid people from doing stupid things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok ... the Bullet Proof Vest didn't protect the person. Product liability or just a bad shot. Boys will be Boys . . . things happen .
