Is anyone else finding this story a little strange? Not someone finally shooting fake-ICE people. But:
Fake-ICE is wearing bulletproof vests and shoots at the homeowner through the door. The homeowner isn't injured. Fine.
The homeowner returns fire, through the door, hits and kills the two guys wearing bulletproof vests. Doesn't that strike anyone else as odd? Both dead, neither injured, despite bulletproof vests, despite being shot through a door?
How many vests cover the face? You can also shrapnel their groin area, and they bleed out before any ambulance will be there.
One of the reasons why I picked a shotgun and use 000 buckshot is because of the spread. I assume my aim sucks, and hope that hitting the bad guys in a unarmored limb will be enough to remove them from a fight.

There's different types of vest, and they're rated to stop different types of bullet.
If these guys are just pretending to be cops, they may well have just grabbed the cheapest vests they could find that looked convincing.
And a rifle round could have just punched straight on through a vest only rated for pistol rounds.
Also most vests don't cover the neck or sides of the body. Or the big arteries in the legs.

Homeowner probably has a peep hole, in addition to the ring camera giving him locational knowledge of where the purps were outside the door. They could only guess where he was.
A bulletproof vest reduces harm, not negate it. Also, vests come in a variety of grades. As can one expect, the heavier and more expensive ones offer more protection, but those can still fail. Vests, like most insurance, only offers so much coverage from disaster.

In other news two positions for ICE officers just opened up for the Huston area.
Circle pattern the door and your bound to hit the bastards. Glad to read the mask is backfiring.
Fuck home invaders. Glad the homeowner had the tools to defend himself!
No details on the nationality of the homeowner? I wonder if they are Hispanic. I wouldn't be at all surprised if some MAGA zealots tried to play ICE and it turned out like this.

Bandits wear ski masks. Bandit home invaders get blasted.
Good. Keep your home safe. I'm not big on how guns are handled in the US, but your home is your home, and law enforcement must be clearly identifiable.
iirc there has been precedent set for stand your ground laws even if they where police, if they did not reasonably defend yourself. If they dont provide a warrant, stand your ground.
I was wondering where this would happen first. TX makes sense. They have more ICE than any other state.
Good start.
