KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:. Appellant Michael Fundiller, while engaging in a narcotics transaction, was shot by a policeman. To recover for his injuries, Fundiller filed an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 42 U.S.C. § 1985, 18 U.S.C. § 246, and state tort law, against the City of Cooper City, its Mayor, an official of the City’s Police Department, and eleven uniformed police officers. The district court dismissed all of appellant’s federal causes of action for failure to state a claim; there being no remaining federal question, the court dismissed the state tort claims as well. We reverse.
