Original Note:
As found in Knibbs v. Momphard in 2022, simply holding a weapon is not justification for an officer to use lethal force. https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-4th-circuit/2167519.html "There is sufficient evidence ... that Knibbs never pointed his weapon at Deputy Momphard ... thereby rendering unjustified the deadly force used."
