there was no attempt at engaging in a conversation to deescalate the situation. she claims her client was in distress and can be seen pointing the gun at his head and added that even though he had a gun he was no danger to the public. >> i find it ludicrous to say that we're saving this man's life who is suicidal by almost killing him. i mean, he could have died. it's miraculous that he didn't die given how hard he was hit. >> he comes around the corner. he knows several things, you know, that the guy is not obeying commands, the guy has a high powered rifle the guy has already cranked off one round and the guy is now very near to a heavily populated businesses. >> reporter: valencia's attorney also addd that her client made some suicidal statements but again, the video shows valencia firing that weapon in the air. the police chief standing by his belief that the use of a car to take down the suspect was safer than the officer firing a weapon. no charges have been filed yet

temperatures a little bit cool. 49 degrees right now some suburbs down into the low to mid 40's. but with winds only running out of the north at 6 miles per hour you throw on a light jacket and everything is good. here are the winds currently calm up in allentown right now but only at six in philadelphia and really not much higher than that. up in the poconos 13. the winds once the sun gets up over the horizon a bit more will start to mix down from the uner atmosphere and will get a little bit breezier but not horrible today. at the same time temperatures are going to rise as that air starts to cruise down out of the mountains descends and warms up a little bit. cloud cover out there but again high and thin enough to allow some sun in. here's the way temperatures are going to go. 53 degrees by 8 o'clock. of course we are going to see some sunshine and not just all cloudy skies there. 62 by 11 o'clock, 68 by o 2 o'clock your high 70 around 3 o'clock. so warm and very comfortable this afternoon. high temperatures pretty similar between allentown and philadelphia, only a couple of

degrees difference there. as you get closer to the shore you get into the mid 60's, maybe even low 60's in a couple can of spots next to that cool ocean water but generally speaking a pretty nice day ahead. then tomorrow high pressure off the coast a bit putting more of an on shore flow. that will bring cool air in off the ocean and knock that high temperature in philadelphia down to 54 and at the shore probably stuck in the 50's tomorrow but at least it will be dry on thursday. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, today no problems. 70 degrees, a mix of clouds and sun really good looking day. a little bit breezy but otherwise just fantastic. and then still nice tomorrow a high of 64 degrees, cooler at the shore. on friday mainly cloudy skies 67 is the high and there's the chance of a couple spotty passing showers not a washout on friday, though. and then saturday how about 76 degrees ahead of an approaching front we're going get a lot warmer, we'll see a mix of clouds and sun probably stays dry the way things look now and then sunday still pleasant with a high of 67 more clouds a-spotty shower is possible in the afternoon but you're mainly drive.
