Taser International Says Court Dismisses Lawsuit Involving Officers' Use of Stun Guns

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Taser International Inc. said Friday a court dismissed a lawsuit involving two deputy sheriffs and held that the use of a Taser stun gun was reasonably needed to subdue a person who had assaulted the officers and resisted their efforts to arrest him.
Taser said the court found that the proper use of a Taser device doesn't carry any serious risk of lasting injury to a person subjected to it.

"This court's decision is significant in that it analyses the use of the Taser device from a risk management perspective in the context of other uses of force and concludes that the Taser device was a reasonable use of force in this case," Douglas Klint, general counsel for Taser, said in a statement.

Taser shares rose 34 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $10.71 in premarket trading
