COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — A company is donating to protect the people who protect us. Thursday morning at Columbia Police Department headquarters, Walmart announced they are donating $15,000 that will pay for 25 bullet proof vests for the department. Chief Randy Scott says the vests are critical for officers who put their lives on the line everyday. In April, a Columbia officer’s life was saved when a suspect opened fire on him during a traffic stop.
