Facts: The client, a police officer, is being sued by the spouse of the victim for using deadly force while arresting the victim. The client was on duty, wearing his uniform, and patrolling in a marked police unit when he spotted the victim's vehicle parked behind a hardware store. When he approached, the victim ran from the back of the store, jumped in the vehicle, and fled. After a brief chase, the victim drove down a dead-end street. After the victim turned his vehicle around, it collided with the police vehicle. The client exited his vehicle, and the victim backed his vehicle up and suddenly came forward, barely missing the client. The client said he believed the victim was trying to run him down. As the victim drove away, the client fired two shots at the victim's vehicle, one of which killed the victim. The spouse claims that the use of deadly force was excessive in this situation and is seeking damages under 42 U.S.C. 1983 for asserted violations of her deceased husband's constitutional rights.
