Texas Officer Killed in Gun Battle

[cmailliard]

When we deployed to Hurricane Katrina, we stoped in Euless for the night. The PD provided security for our 10 vehicles. They were great guys.

Regarding vests - big gap is in the arms. The gap between the side of the vest, below the armpit and the shoulder. From what I heard, it sounds like this is where Cpl. Carrigan in Park County was hit. Isosceles vs weaver, but that is a debate for elsewhere.
