Maryland man killed while testing bulletproof vest

June 19th, 2014

(Reuters) - A Maryland man faced murder charges on Friday after accidentally shooting his friend while testing out a bulletproof vest, a shooting reportedly recorded on a video camera.

Baltimore police arrested Mark Ramiro, 30, after he fatally shot Darnell Mitchell, 28, late on Wednesday.

The Baltimore Sun reported on Friday the shooting was recorded on a video camera by a third person.

In that video, Mitchell brags that he is about to take a “deuce deuce in the chest” - a shot from a .22-caliber bullet - before Ramiro, who is seen standing in front of Mitchell, fired the handgun once. He struck Mitchell just above the vest, the newspaper said.

Police would not comment on specific evidence.

Ramiro drove Mitchell to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to police. Ramiro is being held on homicide charges and weapons violations.

Definite first round finalist. First time in my life I've heard a .22 referred to as a "deuce deuce". I kinda surprised he didn't call it a "tactickool deuce deuce". maybe the first time I've heard of a shooter so inept that he'd miss the jacket. How far away was he?

The charges are well deserved.

Vests don't work if the bullet misses them.

As the inventor of modern soft body armor said if they see the vest they aim for the head.

This reminds me of an episode of '1000 ways to die'. If you have not seen it, pretty entertaining! On Spike .Really just videos of obama supporters killing themselves.

Walter's boss brought over a bullet proof vest to our shooting room.

We were looking how one puts it on, so Walter offered to show us.

As he out on, his boss was standing behind him, and signaled to me that he would hold Walter's hand behind, and I should pretend to shoot him!

As Walter finished putting the jacket on, his boss got behind him and held him.

In the mean time, I got a Browning GP35 9mm pistol and started to look for some ammo.

As you can imagine, Walter went berserk!

We were called every name under the sun. Our ancestor's origin was brought into question, while us two were laughing our heads off.

Afterwards he said he did not trust either of us.
