Shot at close range or slugs impacting soft armor do not guarantee a stop. Several LEOs have been shot in this manner while wearing armor (Source IACP/DuPont Survivor's Club). There is no documented evidence that any of them were incapacitated.
There was an incident in town a couple of years ago in which a former husband (who was arrested for criminal harassment and domestic violence the day before) broke through the back door of his former wife's home. She was in bed (sleeping) with her boyfriend. The boyfriend had a loaded SKS underneath the bed on his side. Ex-husband broke in and moved to the bedroom so quickly nobody in the house had time to determine what was going on. As soon as ex-husband enters bedroom he double taps boyfriend in chest as he's lying in bed, killing him, before boyfriend can reach under bed and retrieve SKS. Ex-husband grabs wife by hair, forces her to her feet, puts gun to back of her head and shoots her point blank, killing her. Ex-husband exits house and shoots self in head when police arrive. Investigation revealed ex-husband had parked in different neighborhood, hiked through wooded forest to former wife's home, and staked-out the home. He had a police scanner with an earplug so he could quietly listen to police activity. Tragically the couple's 17yo son was sleeping on the couch in the front room and witnessed the entire incident.
