By Bob Walsh

 

Dachan Seay

Dachan Seay, 30, was charged with shooting a 26-year-old Philadelphia police officer who was trying to break up a fight outside Overbrook High School on Wednesday, May 7. Seay is accused of firing the gun, a Ruger-57, with a rifle round into the ground. Police said the cartridge ricocheted and struck the officer under his bulletproof vest.
 
An as-yet unnamed Philadelphia police office was shot breaking up a fight outside of Overbrook High School Wednesday about 2:45 p.m.  A passerby saw the disturbance and recorded much of it.  The officer was hit in the gut and is in critical condition.

The school maintains the fight was not started by it's students and that no student was shooting at anybody.

One person has been detained for involvement in the incident.
 
EDITOR'S NOTE: The officer suffered a significant injury. Following surgery, he was alert and talking, and recovering.

The reason you don't find the metal breast plates on many vests any longer was because bullets ricocheted usually from the plate upwards to an officers head.
