Seems like a LOT of details are missing from this story. And the apple comment? Armed security on site during construction work? Guess someone thought it would be a prudent step based on the location?

The body armor didn’t hold up? Or was it a well-placed head shot?

Sounds just like the possums I shoot with a 22 cal pellet gun on my back deck. They have a really bad day and don’t go far.

The right .45 or .44 will do the trick.

Is that a quote from the article? I’ve read it twice and didn’t see that.

Armed security on site during construction work?
Yes. Apple stores have, by far, the highest value per square foot of any general retail store (>$6000/mo revenue/ft^2, next store is ~$2000). If not actually locked, they need armed security on site precisely because of hits like this.

Probably.
A good start on arormed opponents is to hit them somewhere fast, and while the eye/nose area of the head is a good ( best) place to hit to obtain a quick stop, it is also the hardest and smallest... plus it wont be stationary even if at close/contact range.
Perhaps a good technique is to hit the lower torso multiple times quickly, then focusing on a CNS shot either to the eye/nose area or the top of the T ( the neck/clavicle region).
Getting hits fast is critical in stopping a lethal threat, getting the best hit may take some doing.
Once free of a grapple, either press hard forward or move laterally off line to take the advantage.
Getting inside the others OODA loop is taking the advantage.

The right .45 or .44 will do the trick. Doubtful. That's pretty much what non-military body armor was designed to defeat.

Bet the perp didn’t envision bleeding out in an alleyway when he woke up that morning-

Local Dallas news says the guard was a retired Dallas police officer. The thug chose poorly.

The body armor didnt hold up? Or was it a well-placed head shot? Reports of people wearing body armor are almost always wrong. 9 out of 10 times it's just a tactical vest with lots of cool looking pouches and velcro, but no kevlar or plates.

Doubt the guy had level IV, *maybe* level 3, I was thinking it’s just Kevlar, like a flexible police vest.
But yeah, big fat slow pistol rounds are generally stopped by L3, and certainly L4 armour.
