away, nothing within his body language said intimidation. >> reporter: police haven't released details about the officer involved except to say that he is now on paid administrative leave. in baton rouge, people are organizing another prayer vigil for alton sterling who was shot and killed outside of a convenience store. graphic cell phone video shows sterling being tackled to the ground by two officers and one of them yelled out that he had a gun. we'll go to baton rouge in a few minutes. right here in the district, we're seeing new video from a deadly shooting involving d.c. police officers. >> police released body cam video from one of the officers at the scene late last month near catholic university. news4's mark segraves is the first to see this video and he joins us now live at the police headquarters. mark? >> reporter: yeah. this is very dramatic video

fredericksburg. you can see a couple of storms down towards fredericksburg, it's moving through. around midnight, they are all out of the picture. by tomorrow morning, hey, no big deals. sunshine and then the heat comes back just in time for our next round of storms. notice around 2:00, watching a warm front make its way in here. that pushes through and gives us a chance for a couple of storms tomorrow. any storms that develop could produce rather strong winds. that's something that we'll watch and not anticipate a lot of severe weather. your day on your friday is looking like this. 95 degrees, hot and humid. afternoon thunderstorms, heat index, near 100 degrees and may surpass 100 in some spots. 94 on saturday but a cold front comes through. that will lower humidity on saturday. 89 on sunday. 89 on monday. those two days looking really, really nice. and then the humidity moves back in and look at the 90s. tuesday, all the way through the weekend, we're talkin
