This is an official picture of the helmet worn by the Orlando Police Officer who got shot in the head.  The shooter was said to have an AR-15 and this doesn't look anything like a 556 hit on a Kevlar helmet.  IMHO, I see a 12ga slug print in the center of the chaos going on there.  Would greatly appreciate a professional's opinion on this.

Been discussed in another thread. I think the general consensus was he caught a glancing blow. The hole is where a screw was that may have ripped out if night vision or other accessory caught the bullet.

This. General idea is that it hit the NVG mount.
