Steve Brandt: I believe that people are referring to this incident,
encapsulated in this morning's paper: 

In 1997, Storlie shot and wounded Lawrence Miles Jr., who was 15 at the
time, in south Minneapolis after Miles ran past him with a BB gun.
Storlie shot Miles, believing the teenager was pointing a gun at his
partner. Miles and a friend were playing BB-gun tag in the 3600 block of
Chicago Av. at 1:30 a.m. when that shooting happened.

Storlie was exonerated by the Police Department and the Hennepin County
Attorney's Office. Last year, a federal jury found no police brutality
in that case and declined to award money to Miles.
