But the driver had just led police on a reckless, high-speed chase, which involved swerving into oncoming traffic, hitting a police car, and resisting efforts to stop the car by other means. By the time officers started shooting, the car had run over one officer&#8217;s legs and was headed toward others. All things considered, officers acted reasonably in using deadly force, and the district court didn&#8217;t err in granting summary judgment.\u201d Estate of Brown v.
