Facts

Ps brought this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Ds for the alleged deprivation of his constitutional rights. P alleges that he was in his garage removing a license plate from his car when Officers Navez and Lomeli entered and Navez shot P in the abdomen without provocation. After he was shot, no ambulance was called, and instead, Officers Rivera, Guzman, and Pinal conferred with Navez and Lomeli about how to respond to the situation, delaying and obstructing P's efforts to call for an ambulance and obtain medical treatment. P also alleges that unknown Chicago police officers searched his home without a warrant or probable cause, leaving his home in disarray and damaging his property. Ds claim that Navez feared for his life after P lunged toward him with a 'silver object,' which Navez believed to be the barrel of a gun but turned out to be a wrench.
