1Opinion of the Court
FLAUM, Circuit Judge.
On the evening of November 1, 1989, Damon Starks stole a taxicab and drove it to a nearby Taco Bell. Three uniformed police officers quickly surrounded the cab and confronted Starks. Instead of submitting to the authorities, Starks attempted to escape. As Starks drove toward Officer Black, all three officers opened fire and killed him. The plaintiffs sued the officers under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for violating Starks’ civil rights. The district court denied the defendants’ motion for summary judgment based on a qualified immunity defense, and the officers appeal.
