The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has declined for a second time to dismiss excessive force claims against two Sachse police officers accused of wrongfully shooting a teenage boy.

The decision, Cole v. Carson, concerns Ryan Cole, a Sachse High School student who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder. On Oct. 25, 2010, after a quarrel with his parents, Cole, then 17 and a junior at the high school, took guns and ammunition from their gun safe and left the house. After staying with a friend, Cole left to meet his grandparents at a nearby CVS.

According to the court, police were informed that Cole was carrying at least one handgun and was acting aggressively. The police began looking for him. Cole was seen by several officers and ordered to stop, but he continued to walk away from the officers with a handgun pointed to his head, the court said.
