Eighth Circuit: Kim Shultz v. Bryan Buchanan

S1983, Fourth Amendment


Yelling and a thud sufficed for emergency aid exception to Fourth Amendment bar to entry of home.

Officer's having sent putative victim into the house does not bar the exception.

Qualified immunity on Taser shock, as the injury was de minimis.

Supplemental jurisdiction over state claims was appropriate.
