United States Eighth Circuit

In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action claiming that defendant-officers inadequately investigated an incident in which plaintiff was shot by another officer, denial of defendants' summary judgment motion is reversed where, although plaintiff highlighted multiple errors and inconsistencies in defendants' investigation, he failed to show conscience-shocking reckless or intentional conduct.
