Deputies have charged an 18-year-old South Carolina woman with the fatal shooting of a male friend who had donned a bulletproof vest and allegedly asked her to "shoot me," according to local media.

The killing occurred Wednesday in Honea Path, S.C., after 25-year-old Blake Randall Wardell discovered the old vest in a garage where he had been hanging out with friends, WYFF-TV reports.

Anderson County deputy coroner Don McCown said Wardell asked Taylor Ann Kelly to "shoot me," the TV station reports.

Kelly allegedly fired a small caliber weapon at Wardell, but the bullet went through the edge of the vest and into his heart, McCown said.

McCown said there were as many as 10 other people at the home at the time. He said no evidence at the scene of a fight or struggle, The State newspaper reports.

"It wasn't a fight. They were actually going to take a shot at the vest," McCown said, according to the newspaper. "They were going to shoot the victim with the vest on. And he was shot in the chest, just above the vest."

He said the vest appeared to be 10 or 15 years old.

Wardell died at the scene despite attempts to apply CPR, WYFF reports.

Kelly was charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries a five-year prison term upon conviction.

Another liberal trying to make himself safe from guns, accomplishes the opposite.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Like the person who asks someone to shoot them.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around what Polish built bullet proof vest he was wearing. The reports I was reading yesterday all said. She missed and hit him in the heart.

What were they were testing, a bullet proof jock strap ?

What the fuck was it, a bullet proof wife beater?

Hi CapitanShuddup.

I am Polish and I find your comment offensive. So let me respond in a Polish way:

Learn to read with understanding, you … /insert profanity here/ The article clearly states that "he was shot in the chest, just above the vest." Can't you read you… /insert the same profanity as above/, are you blind?

;)

The Captain can't help it. He is one of those low bandwidth, i.e., low intelligence people you keep hearing about. He is so dumb he doens't know he is dumb. Still, it is fun to read his posts. Like reading the posts of a monkey who doesn't know any better.

What good is a bulletproof vest that doesn't cover the whole chest area. Being shot in the throat is one thing, what was he laying down kneeling up begging her not to shot him, or laying down, and was he wearing a saggy bullet proof vest that would allow shot to go to the heart from that angle.

It certainly doesn't pass the bullshit test. It just doesn't sound like someone standing straight asking someone to fire a bullet into his vest to see if it works. The only way it could have hit his heart is if the vest failed or was a homemade number and just couldn't stop a bullet. But as the story is presented, it doesn't make any sense at all.

Why do you find that offensive, you're White aren't you?
You're already a moron, being a Pol is a bit of an upgrade.

Relevant:

To be fair you've got a dimwit who found something he THINKS is a bulletproof vest, and doesn't know anything about donning one. Maybe it was an old life vest.

Idjit asks 18-year old girl to take a shot at him.

If I were on the jury I'd have to say NOT GUILTY.

Maybe the vest was bullet proof but it wasn't klutz proof.

The hard core klutz is mightier than the sword.

Just goes to show the proverb is right: if you make something idiot proof, they go and invent a better idiot.

She followed his instructions: shooting him, not the vest. Unfortunately, she is guilty of manslaughter. Her prettiness may have reduced the charge from voluntary to involuntary.

Even if it caught the vest, some people don't realize a high velocity little .22 will more likely penetrate a "bullet proof" vest than a 45 auto or a powerful, Dirty Harry 44 magnum will. They just say "small caliber weapon", so I bet it was a .22 rifle if the bullet still caught the protective edge of the vest, yet penetrated.
