Issues: Whether, if the barrel of a gun is not yet pointed directly at
an officer, clearly established federal law prohibits
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; and (2) whether a police officer who inaccurately reports
his perceptions of events during a dynamic shooting
encounter violates clearly established rights under the
14th Amendment.
