Question Presented (from Petition)
I. If the barrel of a gun is not yet pointed directly at an officer, does clearly established federal law prohibit police officers from firing to stop a person armed with a firearm from moving a deadly weapon toward an officer if the officer has not both shouted a warning and also waited to determine whether the imminent threat to life has subsided after the warning?
II. Does a police officer who inaccurately reports his perceptions of events during a dynamic shooting encounter violate clearly established rights under the Fourteenth Amendment?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether police officers can use deadly force when a person armed with a firearm moves the weapon toward the officer, even if the officer has not shouted a warning and waited to determine if the threat has subsided
