Man dies at party after allegedly being shot in chest by friend while wearing bulletproof vest

A man wearing a bulletproof vest died after he was shot in the chest by a friend at a party.

Jason Griffin, a friend of the victim whose name has not been released, has been charged with manslaughter, police in Houston, Texas confirmed.

His girlfriend, Mary Warstler, told the ABC13 news channel that the 39-year-old did not think the gun was loaded and had not meant to kill his friend.

Although she had not attended the party, she said she spoke to her boyfriend shortly after he fled the scene of the shooting. He later turned himself in.

She said he told her that he had gone to "sell his friend a flak jacket." The victim, she said, had told him to "shoot me" after he tried it on.

“It’s so bad because he didn’t know the gun was loaded,” she added. “He felt bad for what happened to his friend.”
