Retired PA State Trooper robs toll booth

Body armor drills are head and groin . At least how were trained.  Groin close to femur.

I stand corrected, then. Never heard of that, after decades of receiving and instructing PPC and the like. Perhaps unique to your local department. The "groin" (pelvic) hit, in my experience, is a "foundation" hit, and taught independent of body armor drills. Meaning, if the objective is to stop the motion of a target, removing the foundation does this well. A simple "femur" shot is rarely effective for either objective, even if the femoral artery is hit. Few handgun cartridge power levels (and none commonly carried by LEO's) have the ability to actually break an adult femur. However, to stop an armed target, COM or head is the only effective method (when it's effective). Body armor drills are: 2-COM, 1-head, in that order. Tap-Tap--Tap. No other method is taught, professionally, that I'm aware of.

I was taught this:

2 COM, evaluate
2 COM, 1 Head, evaluate
2 COM, 1 Head, 2 Groin, 1 Head, evaluate.

If after 6 COM shots, three head shots and two groin shots the perp is still in play, use cover to get to your patrol rifle cause a pistol is never gonna do it.

My agency teaches Mozambique.

Though I frequently train for groin shots on my own. I believe there are advantages to this target in certain situations.

 Like these stories always seem to go... nothing more on it!

Nothing from the Wife or investigation of what led up to this in the last days.
