A Florida man was shot and killed on Saturday night in an ill-fated attempt to test his supposedly bulletproof vest, police said. Joaquin Mendez, 23, donned the vest and “wondered aloud whether it still worked,” according to a police report cited by WESH, the NBC station in Orlando. “Let’s see,” replied his cousin, 24-year-old Alexandro Garibaldi, who then allegedly fired the fatal shot. Garibaldi initially told police he heard a gunshot and found his cousin dead, Tampa NBC station WFLA reported. However, a witness told police about the incident.
