A bullet-proof vest saved a wounded Mississippi deputy when he was shot twice more in the chest by a gunman who approached him as he played dead. Deputy Daniel Tatum was wounded Friday in Marshall County after being shot in the arm, shoulder and leg by a man who later killed himself after a four-hour standoff. Tatum then played dead on the ground hoping he wouldn’t be shot in the head, Marshall County Sheriff Kenney Dickerson said Saturday. Other deputies arrived on the scene and rescued the wounded Tatum., who was transported to a Memphis hospital where he underwent surgery, the station reported. The standoff ended around 10:30 p.m. when Vaught emerged, kneeled down and shot himself in the head, Dickerson said.
