st. louis, just over two miles from troubled ferguson. a 23-year-old black male took two pastries from this convenience store and refused to pay for them. the suspect was erratically pacing back and forth in the street armed with a knife. when officers arrived. >> he pulled out a knife and what we describe as an overhand grip. and told the officer shoot me now, kill me now. >> reporter: when he got within four feet, they both opened fire, killing him. this after another night of violence in ferguson. s.w.a.t. units moved in. police say they were targeted by what they call a criminal element using the protests and the night as cover. >> can you distinguish between the protesters and the criminals? >> yes, i think we can. we've got a pretty good eye on that. >> we have been polling addresses, and there's a low

number of people that have a ferguson address. >> reporter: while police say ferguson has become a destination for troublemakers, most of those arrested were local residents. >> i just want to support the cause, i mean, that kid did not deserve to die. >> while protesters demand the arrest of officer darren wilson for shooting and killing michael brown. voices sympathetic to the officer are also speaking up. there's a website that is raising money for darren wilson. >> the police officer stopped him to question him, that's a fact. >> charlie brennen hears more than the demonstrators on the street. >> people who support the officer, believe that all the facts aren't in yet, they can't believe a police officer would shoot somebody if he wasn't provoked. >> and with the stage set for more gemmen stations tonight. police have decided to let it play out without imposing a curfew. >> the nation's chief law

enforcement officer arrives here tomorrow, in a letter to the local newspaper, he tries to reassure the community that the justice department will do everything possible to get to the bottom of what happened here. brian? >> ron allen another hot day in ferguson, missouri. we want to shift our focus to the american southwest, there is a huge drama playing out tonight in and around phoenix, arizona. the problem is way too much water, a torrent of rainfalling too quickly in the desert state. that has triggered flash floods and high water rescues. jacob rascon on duty there for us tonight. >> reporter: five inches of rain fell in some areas almost as much rain in a few hours as parts of the state get an entire year. every hour another couple inches of rain pounded the arizona desert, caught in the storm,

countless drivers like this woman rescued from a minivan that didn't make it. >> this is excellent work from everybody involved. >> reporter: washes became rivers, stranding thousands during the more than rush hour. neighborhoods and farms filled with water within hours. >> this person left his nursery. >> reporter: horses left fending for themselves. >> look at the horses. >> reporter: horse trailers swept away like tree branches in a river. >> reporter: a woman trapped in her home waives a right towel for help. >> i'm feeling very blessed, thank god for the fire department. >> reporter: in what used to be a parking lot, the lone rv fights a swift current. heavy thunderstorms not out of the forecast yet. >> in the desert, you can get flash flooding with a little bit of rain in a short period of time. in this indication, you have the mountains in play, which enhances rainfall and all of this coming together is it the

recipe for some very serious flooding. >> at the height of the storm, 50 mile an hour winds broke transmission lines, leaving thousands without power. and the flood forcing the rescue of at least a dozen people. >> in all of the rescues, no reports of any injuries. most of arizona braces for another round or two of heavy storms later this week. brian? >> now comes the mud, as we can see. terrible situation there outside phoenix, jacob rascon for us. a fast moving wildfire prompting thousands of evacuations nerio sellty, we're at the height of summer vacation season. one of two fires threatening homes in california. miguel almaguer is in oakhurst, california for us tonight. >> reporter: the junction fire, named for the road it began on, exploded out of control.

flames tearing across at least eight structures. firefighters are racing here from all over california. but it's mother nature that's in control. >> this is a wind dominated fire. the other problem too is the elevation and the various foliage, which is right for fuel. for the fire. 13,000 have been ordered to leave. a refuge for the gibbons family with newborn jasmine. >> i saw everybody leaving, when the electricity went off, that's enough warning sign. >> now another blaze near lake isabella. several homes detroit, hundreds of others under threat. >> there's a disaster up there. people running. >> fueled by historic drought conditions and temperatures in the 90s, tonight firefighters face a double threat. >> crews nerio sellty have been

so busy on the front lines, they haven't had a chance to assess the damage. this is one of eight homes that have been completely destroyed. look how dicey things got. flames came within a few feet of these propane tanks that could have exploded. the worst of the threat, the biggest danger is behind them. brian? >> miguel almaguer in california for us tonight. the republican governor of texas turned himself in to authorities, he was fingerprinted had his mugshot taken. a humiliating experience for a once and potentially future presidential candidate. it comes after grand jury charges for abuse of power. we get our report tonight from janet shamlian in austin. >> reporter: as texas governor rick perry arrived to be booked on charges of abuse of power and coercion, he made it clear he sees the charges against him as a political vendetta. >> i'm going to fight this

injustice with every fiber of my being. and we will prevail. >> reporter: he's made no secret of wanting to run for president again. visiting iowa last week, and later this week, new hampshire. ditching his cowboy boots and putting on some serious glasses. the indictment stems from actions perry took against a political adversary. the democratic district attorney of travis county. a liberal bastian in a red state. perry threatened to withhold and veto state funds for the d.a.'s ethics unit, which investigates public corruption. the d.a. has her own problems. a dwi arrest last year, and an embarrassing video of her jailhouse behavior. >> i don't care -- >> her lawyers even played the video at a news conference. the perry defense has some unusual allies. obama adviser david axelrod tweeted. unless he was trying to scrap the ethics unit for other than

liz stated reason, perry indictment seems pretty sketchy. and former perry opponent, ron paul 37. >> i don't generally defend our governor very much. i don't promote him, but this is pure politics. i tell you, this is really a joke. >> the question is whether voters are laughing, if perry runs in 2016. >> it was just a few moments ago, that the governor left the courthouse after having that mugshot taken. he was sur rounded by supporters and he was defy an the. saying what he did was lawful, lethal and proper. >> janet shamlian in austin texas. thanks. there is awful tragic news from overseas today. james foley went missing in syria two years ago now. he hasn't been seen or heard from since. sadly today we learned he was aparentally beheaded by isis militants in a graphic video that's been posted on the web. also in that video,en isis
