sure. thank you. at the abc 15 live desk i just got some court documents on a guy accused of invading women's privacy. here he is. officers say they took pictures and videos of women using the restroom on the asu campus in tempe, and now we know one of the women caught him in the act because she alerted police, but it sounds like women actually intercepted this guy himself as he came out of the restroom, held him down and got the phone so he couldn't delete and police say he had the excuse that he couldn't find the men's restroom and used the women instead. well the good guys are supposed to be on the same side, but in maricopa police are trying to figure out why their officers erranded up in a -- ended up in a wild shoot out with a a border patrol agent. jason is live in maricopa, and police just said that russo killed himself? >> reporter: that's right, there was some confusion at

killed himself, but they can confirm that jeremy russo, the suspect here shot himself. he was in the upstairs windows where the police are boarding them up, and you can see the police marking the bullet holes in the side of the house because the cops were firing back at russo at one point, and at some point during the stand off russo shot himself in the head with the hand gun, and neighbors and police both had to take cover. a quiet walk interrupted. >> oh my god. somebody just got shot. this video, others took cover. >> turned the lights out and everything like that because it sounded like it was in the backyard. >> reporter: jeremy russo opened fire from an upstairs window, firing down on police who responded to a domestic violence call. >> i immediately shut off all my lights and barricaded myself in my bedroom. >> reporter: police basically did the same thing. one maricopa officer returned five shots, but then police

lights and hid in the darkness,ing not to become -- trying not to become targets around the house, and some officers near the house were evacuated with an armored vehicle. >> they did everything they did in the pitch dark. >> reporter: the original 911 call came from the suspect's young daughter saying the dad was fighting with their mom, and the 15-year-old son was trying to break it up. the mom and two kids made it out of the house just as the officer pulled up, and that's with when the shooting starting, and in the end russo shot himself in the head. border patrol says jeremy joined the agency in 2011, and he was 40 years, and police tell us there was no history of domestic violence at the house. >> very sad circumstances. and back to the live desk, a bomb threat coming in at police headquarters in charlotte, north carolina. a lot of heat on police there because a man was killed by an officer last week, followed by

violent protests. headquarters here has been evacuated has a precaution. nobody hurt. that's ard coming to you are the -- according to authorities on the ground. we'll stay on top of this, and other let you know as soon as we -- and let you know as soon as we hear anything else. and looking down to the south we can see the storm clouds building in again, and here's the abc 15 desert doppler. showers and thunderstorms right now moving through pinal county up to the north, and much of it out over south of i-8, and to the west of i-10, but they'll continue to progress to the north over the next couple of hours giving us a chance for showers and thunderstorms as we head through this evening, so a 20 percent shot in the valley forecast. temperatures in the 80s over the next several hours, the low 80s through 8:00, 9:00, and even 10:00 p.m. tonight, and then we have more rain chances to track over the next couple of days. below average temperatures sticking around too, and coming up in just a bit, we'll talk about when the forecast will
