   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-3157
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Loken and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil Rights. Defendant police officer shot and killed 
   plaintiff's son, who had been reported as suicidal and emotionally 
   disturbed and had ignored officers' commands to drop a knife. Held: the 
   officer was entitled to qualified immunity on plaintiff's claim that he 
   used excessive force by continuing to shoot at decedent after he had 
   dropped the knife and had fallen to the ground; given the swift and 
   continuous progression of the incident and the officer's limited time to 
   observe and process the circumstances, no jury could find that he had 
   sufficient time to reassess the threat decedent presented before he 
   stopped firing.
