I think the only time where Body Armor played a huge role in preventing apprehension was the LA shoot out at the Bank of America. Those dudes had AKs, fully automatic, full body armor and Beta Drum mags.
Indeed, even then, one of the perpetrators was taken down with a bullet through the neck...(although he was about to attempt suicide and shot himself in the chin? head? Not clear on that fact).
So, I don't think body armor is a huge issue for 'enabling' shooting sprees.
