On February 11, 2022 Officer Donald Murdoch was part of a SWAT Team component that was sent to serve a warrant on a suspected drug lab in Philadelphia. Once the officers ascended the 3 story staircase and were in position, they began breaching the door. During the breach, the suspect opened fire with a 9mm, shooting through the wall at the officers on the staircase. Officer Donald Murdoch was struck once in the chest. Thankfully, the round was stopped by his Safariland® Shift 360™ system – made up of Hardwire®.68 Level IIIA ballistics and a Hardwire® ICW plate . The SWAT Team continued the breach, causing the suspect to flee out the window. The suspect surrendered after taking fire from the SWAT officers positioned at the rear of the property.
