PARIS (AP) — An assailant opened fire on a police officer on the southern edge of Paris early Thursday, killing her and injuring a nearby street sweeper before fleeing, officials and a witness said. France's interior minister cautioned against jumping to conclusions a day after the deadly assault on a satirical newspaper that killed 12 people.
The attacker in the pre-dawn shooting Thursday remained at large, said French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve. It was not immediately clear whether the attack was linked to the assault on the newspaper Charlie Hebdo, in which two police officers were among the dead.
In the Thursday shooting, Cazeneuve said, the officer had stopped to investigate a traffic accident when the firing started. Paris police said the second victim was a street sweeper. The officer later died of her injuries, said Emmanuel Cravello of the Alliance police union.
"There was an officer in front of a white car and a man running away who shot," said Ahmed Sassi, who saw the shooting from his home nearby.
Sassi said the shooter wore dark clothes but no mask. "It didn't look like a big gun because he held it with one hand," Sassi said.
Cazeneuve left an emergency government meeting to travel to the scene of the latest shooting. France is on its highest level of alert after the deadly attacks at Charlie Hebdo's central Paris offices.

Looks like they are using the same gear as American police personal use. Soft body armor (Kevlar) which does not, and absolutely will not stop a rifle round. I wonder if all the military hardware American police have been receiving in the last decade if plate armor is on the list?

ares look at the glass shield how thick it is

Probably plexiglass because if it was a real glass plate that thick he would be having a hard time moving his head.

[mick silver]

I have never seen the glass shields that thick , that's why I was asking you if you had . would plexiglass help a bullet bounce off of it

Small rounds like a .22 would most likely get defeated by that shield. Larger rounds I'm not so sure. We should ask the guys over at the box of truth (http://www.theboxotruth.com/) and see if they can acquire one to find out what kind of abuse that shield could take. :)

[collector]

It might not be that thick, it might just have a soft rubber ring around the edges

[Twisted Titan]

Makes no difference if it penetrates or not.

I gurantee if that bootlicker is shot in his face HE WILL STOP because A he will be stunned B fear that his head should be mush will take over

Thats gives you time to either A flee or B place another shot.

Something to think about.

OverviewThe innovative design of our PASGT Tactical Helmet delivers maximum protection, comfort, and maneuverability. Exceeding military specification MIL-H-44099A and providing NIJ Standard Threat Level IIIA protection, our helmet is superior to the PASGT (Personal Armor System Ground Troops) in form and function. Specifically cut and shaped around the ears, our Tactical Helmet provides optimal hearing so that agents will not be disadvantaged in hostile engagements. With superior shock absorption properties, and a three-point adjustment/suspension (which is offset from the helmet to protect from helmet deformation) our Tactical Helmet is simply the best ballistic helmet on the market today.
Designed to provide the wearer with ballistic and fragmentation protection. It has been tested by an independent laboratory with the 9mm 124 grain FMJ round at N.I.J. Threat Level II velocities. The shell is constructed of Kevlar® ballistic Aramid cloth layered and bonded with impregnated resin.
The PASGT Helmet provides full frontal protection and is designed with an ear relief to provide an extra margin of protection to the temporal areas. The suspension system is a nylon webbing assembly that screws to the helmet shell. It has a sliding sizing system constructed of nylon and leather. The retention system is a sling suspension design with a chin strap. The helmet is constructed under rigid military specifications and meets military MIL-H44099A standards. Standard Features

Probably plexiglass because if it was a real glass plate that thick he would be having a hard time moving his head.

There's a type of plexiglass which was developed years ago for built armored cars (like Crown Vics, Jeep Cherokees, etc.) with the thickness of a standard car windshield. It was rated 7.62 NATO. When I read about it several years ago the price for such a windshield was $60K (at the time).
