Body armor and law enforcement recorder saved his life

A shooting incident occurred on a street in a residential area of ??Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States last month. A policeman exchanged fire with a suspect. The suspect was shot dead and the policeman was wounded with three shots. The Baltimore Police recently released a video of the police law enforcement recorder on duty at the time. According to the video on Officer Stephen Foster ’s law enforcement recorder, on the evening of September 23, he drove a police car to reinforce police Philip Lippe who had exchanged fire with the suspect. After arriving at the scene, the suspect had been knocked down, but still trying to resist, Foster and Lippe then fired several shots. Foster shot out and shouted to his companions, 'hidden! Concealed!' In the end, the suspect was shot several times and could no longer resist. Subsequently, Foster came to Lipe and found that he was shot three times, one of which shot the law enforcement recorder and bruised his arm, and the other two shots hit the chest. Despite wearing a body armor, he was hit from a close range and made him feel painful and difficult to breathe. However, he kept saying, 'It's okay, it's okay.' Lippe was taken to the hospital for examination and treatment afterwards, and he was discharged the next day. According to a police investigation, the suspected victim was Nathaniel Sasafras. He was 29 years old and was sentenced to 20 years in prison for second-degree murder since 2004. He was sentenced to one year and one day for the crime of assault, and was released on parole from January 8 this year. The police also said that since the law enforcement recorder on Lipe ’s body was damaged after being hit by the suspect ’s bullet, the picture at that time could no longer be seen, so it is unclear how the shooting occurred and the relevant investigation is still in progress.
