Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Sixth Circuit's application of qualified immunity to a police officer who shot an unintended victim is consistent with Hernandez v. Mesa's requirement that qualified immunity analysis be limited to facts knowable at the time of the officer's conduct, or whether the officer's entitlement to immunity may not depend on whether the legal theory of the claim was clearly established at the time of the shooting
