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.
