How later courts describe this case

  • holding that where suspect was about to run over officer with his car, use of deadly force in self-defense was constitutional
  • “[Regardless of what had transpired up until the shooting itself, [the suspect’s] movements gave the officer reason to believe, at that moment, that there was a threat of physical harm.”
