   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-4209
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken and Murphy, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. Viewing the evidence in the light most 
   favorable to plaintiffs, and considering the totality of the 
   circumstances, defendant officer King's use of deadly force against 
   plaintiffs' decedent was objectively reasonable; the officers who 
   responded to decedent's apartment had been told she was armed and suicidal 
   and found her with the weapon; when she appeared unresponsive to their 
   commands and raised the gun to one of the officer's shin level, a 
   reasonable officer would had probable cause to believe she posed threat of 
   serious physical harm and that the use of deadly force was objectively 
   reasonable; since the officer's use of deadly force was not a 
   constitutional violation, the city could not be held liable under Section 
   1983 for failure to train; even if the court concluded the officer's use 
   of force was unreasonable, neither the municipality or the chief of police 
   can be held liable for unconstitutional conduct under a theory of 
   respondeat superior.
