At the hearing, the Superior Court granted a motion to suppress based on lack of probable cause. The state moved to reconsider that defendant never put probable cause in issue. Granting the reconsideration, the state showed its probable cause, and the warrant for the cell phone text message was properly issued.

State<\/a>, 2016 Alas. App. LEXIS 206 (Dec. 16, 2016).<\/p>\n<p>A city police officer here shot and killed a man at close range, and bystanders contradicted the officer\u2019s version of events. Summary judgment was denied on qualified immunity, and she and the city appeal. The factual disputes required summary judgment be denied. The victim had a gun when first encountered and tossed it out of reach. While handcuffing the victim, he appeared to have broken one arm free and was shot at close range in the back. Witnesses contradicted the officer: she said the gun went off accidentally, but the witnesses say she held it in both hands and fired. At the time of the shooting, the victim posed no threat of deadly force against her. She alternatively argued that, if the shooting was considered intentional, the law wasn\u2019t settled. It really was. <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ca8.uscourts.gov\/opndir\/16\/12\/153279P.pdf\">Wallace v. City of Alexander<\/a>, 2016 U.S. App. LEXIS 21911 (8th Cir.
