When a shooter attacked a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, over the weekend, its security guard tried to stop him
“They’re demonstrating this intent that, ‘I want to absolutely kill or hurt as many people as I possibly can before I just can’t fight anymore,’” said Chris Burbank, the former police chief in Salt Lake City who’s now with the Center for Policing Equity.
Police officers are seeing body armor in other types of investigations, like narcotics cases, said former Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina. Body armor is relatively easy to get, especially the soft body armor similar to the bulletproof vests regularly worn by police officers that are effective against handguns.
“Most of those same laws apply to guns," Burbank said."Does that prohibit anyone in this nation from having access to a firearm?” The Violence Project database also doesn't include slayings that don't meet the definition of a mass shooting because fewer than four people were killed.
