1Opinion of the Court
TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judge.
Responding to a 911 emergency call, a Denver police officer shot and killed Lyle Eugene Larsen outside his home. Larsen’s next of kin brought a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit against (1) the officer for excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and (2) the City and County of Denver and its police chief regarding the City’s deadly force policy. The district court granted summary judgment against Larsen’s Estate on all claims, and this appeal followed.
Finding no constitutional violation, we AFFIRM the district court’s grant of summary judgment.
