ARIZONA - Arizona fire captain Kevin Goodman says his company, Escape Armour, exists for one reason: To prevent the loss of even a single child in a school shooting.

Mr Goodman, who has four children, designed a bulletproof vest that easily fits into school backpacks, so kids can have it with them at all times. It's not the first such product, but he says his armour uses better materials.

Mr Goodman, who has worked as a firefighter, fire captain and fire investigator, as well as an engineer, in Arizona since 1998, took Reuters outside Phoenix city limits to demonstrate how the vest works. As he removed an armour plate from the vest - which did not let any bullets through - he commented on where each shot hit.
