1Opinion of the Court
PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:.
The police shot and killed John Lincoln as he stood beside then eighteen-year-old daughter Erin. She here alleges that after she collapsed and cried out, Officer Patrick Turner picked her up, threw her over his shoulder, and carried her to a police car, where she sat handcuffed against her will. Erin brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Turner, alleging unreasonable seizure and excessive force. The district court sustained Turner’s defense of immunity and granted his motion to dismiss. We AFFIRM.
