Galt Wrote:Los Angeles (Reuters) - Miss Ferguson was the third contestant during NBC's "Police Offer Fear Factor" to be shot by 18-year Army Ranger sharpshooter veteran Kevin Atkin. Contestants were to stand against a wall and be shot in the chest by Mr. Atkin. The previous two went off without incident as the Spectra vests, which are more protective than Kevlar, stopped the sniper's bullet easily. NBC Spokesman Lee Snyder said, "We are all deeply effected by this tragedy, and our hearts go out to Miss Ferguson’s family and friends." Mr. Snyder continued, "Every precaution that could be taken, was taken, and it was just a matter of a freak occurrence as Miss Ferguson apparently passed out and started to fall right as Mr. Atkin was shooting. If that bullet had hit her vest, there is no possibility we would be talking about this incident now."you could have at least proofed ur work before u posted it... deek.
