He shot him from behind, where he was completely exposed.

I'm interested in seeing how the riot shields work out. Dopey562 pointed out something interesting in particular; what if its not a perk? It could come under a new category of weapons, perhaps like the throwing knife.
I also wonder if the riot shield will be visible on the character's body when it isn't equipped?
Robert Bowling confirmed that "It will 100% most definitely be a perk"
