Reasonable deadly force is authorized: to prevent escape when the suspect has threatened an officer with a weapon. When there is a threat of death or serious physical injury to the officers or others, there is probable cause to believe that the suspect has committed a crime involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical injury and, when practical, some warning has been given by the officer
