A 25-year-old man who put on a bullet proof vest and asked to be shot was killed Wednesday morning, according to the coroner, and an 18-year-old girl is charged in the death.

The shooting was reported on Broadmouth Church Road at 2:40 a.m., according to Sheila Cole with the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office.

Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown said Blake Randall Wardell was hanging around with some other people in a garage at that location when he put on a bullet proof vest they had found.

Wardell asked his friend, Taylor Ann Kelly, of Anderson to shoot him. She fired, and the shot from the small caliber weapon went above the Kevlar of the vest and into Wardell’s heart, killing him, McCown said.

Seconded!
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

This reminds me of the guy who talked his girlfriend into a game of Russian Roulette .....

... with a semi-auto pistol!  And she agreed!!    :wtf:

He went first!   :rofl:

I'm thinking he wanted to commit suicide in front of her....

... or there were drugs

... or both.    :crazy:

These aren't the first idiots to try something stupid like this.




In our YouTube society, people are stupid enough to do anything to try and be famous.
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

The first rule of being a dumbass and asking someone to shoot you in the vest: make sure the other dumbass can aim

More to the story than just stupid, although there was certainly enough of that.

Apparently the girl who originally "confessed" to shooting the guy wearing the vest "covered" for the other guy who actually did the shooting...who (drum roll please.....)....was a felon and not supposed to be handling any firearm.....
