A college athlete in Oregon who was shot multiple times by police while he was escaping a dangerous encounter with his brother alleges excessive force and negligence in a federal civil rights case filed Wednesday.

Maverick Lyon, a college lacrosse player, was home in Albany on Jan. 6 when his brother, who had relapsed into drug use, held him at knifepoint, attorneys with Stritmatter Law said in the suit. Their father called Albany police after he saw the altercation on a security video in the family’s home.
