Default Constable Shot, Saved by Vest.....Shooter Caught

Quote:
Assistant Chief Henry Gaw with the Houston Police Department said Precinct 7 deputy constable Quinton Goodwill was conducting a routine traffic stop.

When Goodwill approached the vehicle, the man inside opened fire "before the deputy could even say anything," striking Goodwill possibly twice before fleeing the scene in a silver Honda, Gaw said.

Goodwill hid behind a nearby METRO bus stop and a private security guard who was there was able to for help, authorities said.

While Goodwill was transported to a hospital, authorities began searching for the driver, who was found about 30 minutes later driving with his lights off on West Orem near South Post Oak Road.

Authorities said there was a firearm and body armor in plain view inside the vehicle, which has Florida plates. The man was taken into custody without incident.

Gaw said Goodwill was transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries and is expected to be OK. He was released from the hospital late Wednesday morning.

“The deputy constable was wearing his vest," Gaw said. "I believe that saved his life tonight."

Goodwill is a five-year-veteran of the Harris County Toll Road Authority under Precinct 7 Constable's Office. Investigators said Goodwill did not return fire.

The gunman’s identity has not yet been released.
They just showed video of the cop walking out of the hospital. Looks like he's got some sore ribs right now, but he's gonna be OK.

I heard about this on the news this morning. There isn't enough money available to get me to be an officer.

Glad he was wearing his vest and the scum was caught.
