The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today ruled in favor of an undercover Minneapolis Police officer shot by a fellow officer in 2003. The court ruled that a reasonable jury could find that former Officer Charles Storlie deprived Undercover Officer Duy Ngo of his constitutional rights when he shot him several times without warning. The ruling clears the way for the case to go to trial in federal court in Minneapolis . It also makes the city liable for any damages awarded if the case isn't settled out of court. Officer Ngo was doing gang surveillance when he was shot by an unidentified man. Ngo radioed for help and Storlie responded to the call. Storlie then began firing his submachine gun at Ngo, hitting him several times.
