An Instagram model and ex-LAPD cop who shot dead a knife-wielding maniac at the scene of a traffic collision is now on the hook for an excessive force lawsuit from the man’s daughter, after a ruling from the US Supreme Court. Toni McBride, nicknamed “Top Shot” for her sharpshooting skills, can face a lawsuit from the family of Daniel Hernandez, who approached her with a boxcutter after a car wreck in downtown LA on April 22, 2020 — Supreme Court justices ruled Monday. Hernandez’ 18-year-old daughter, Melanie Hernandez, filed her wrongful-death suit against gun model McBride on July 10, 2020, about a month after the LAPD released shocking footage of the fatal shooting from McBride’s bodycam.
