"Bulletproof" vest does robber no good
A robber entered a pawn shop in the 9400 block of Louella in Houston Saturday and attempted to intimidate the owner and put handcuffs on him.
The pawn shop owner refused to cooperate, retrieved a pistol, and shot the robber several times, according to this report.
Despite the fact that the robber was wearing a "bulletproof" vest, he later died in the hospital.

I would like to know the full story here, and wonder why the pawn shop owner didn't have a shotgun. But whatever works.
