HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Houston Police Department says one man was shot and killed by a party-goer after he decided to put on a bulletproof vest.

Police were called to 300 W. 23rd and Rutland Street around 1:30 a.m. after reports of deadly shooting in the Heights.

According to investigators, about six to eight people were at the residence for a party when the shooting occurred.

Authorities say one guy decided to put on a bulletproof vest while one of the party-goers fired a shot at him.

"It is unusual that people would put on bulletproof vest and play with guns at a party, but these things happen sometimes," HPD Homicide Sgt. Mark Hollbrook said.

Police are working to locate the person who shot the victim and another male to determine more about the incident.

Investigators are waiting on forensics to determine whether the bullet went through the vest or skipped the panel.

Wonder which level the vest was. Even 2A stops a .45 so he must have gotten shot with rifle round.

I first read this as 300 Winchester, lol. Not that it would have mattered for this Darwin winner.

I wish more of these morons would do this. I would say RIP, but I quite frankly am happy he’s been removed from the gene pool.

There is a poster here that let someone shoot him with a potato gun in the chest from a few feet away. The poster did try to protect himself with a lid from and ice chest and a pillow.

It didn’t turn out well.
