   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3012
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. The evidence was sufficient to support the 
   jury's verdict finding for plaintiffs on their claim for wrongful death, 
   as a reasonable juror could have found that defendant, a parole officer 
   seeking to arrest the plaintiffs' decedent for a parole violation, shot 
   the plaintiffs' decedent as he was running away from defendant and not 
   after he turned toward defendant in a threatening manner; the evidence 
   thus supported a reasonable inference that defendant intentionally fired 
   his gun at the deceased "needlessly," while "manifesting a reckless 
   indifference to the rights of others;" as a result, defendant was not 
   entitled to official immunity because the evidence supported a finding of 
   malice; for the same reasons, defendant was not entitled to judgment as a 
   matter of law under the public duty doctrine;$1 million damages award 
   affirmed.
