Kent police highlight bullet-resistant vest purchase following officer shooting [Record-Courier, Kent, Ohio]
Jan. 30 Following a shooting this month in Kent that injured two police officers, the city has approved a grant that has largely reimbursed its police department for the cost of new ballistic vests.
Though the acceptance of the grant is timely, the two events are not related. Kent Police Chief Nicholas Shearer first approached Kent City Council about approving a matching grant on Jan. 6. That meeting was held 10 days before officers Kyle Auckland and Leonard Kunka were shot while responding to a burglary call.
Auckland was shot in the chest on the morning of Jan. 16, when he was among a number of officers responding to a 911 call from a 14-year-old girl who was babysitting at an East Summit Street home. She said a man, who turned out to be 40-year-old Dante Dixon, was trying to enter the residence.
