She was able to get the barrier set before the shooter could get through. Other security personnel returned fire, killing him.C-dub wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 12:14 pm I'm very thankful the victim is going to be okay.It does make me wonder why this sailor was wearing a protective vest and if they really mean a bullet resistant vest or he just go lucky that something in a regular vest managed to stop the bullet.The Navy Times reported that the sailor was shot at by an active shooter, but the sailor’s protective vest stopped the bullet, according to a Navy official.
