building through what's glass ed as a sliding door. at that point, the officer does not pursue him into thattm apt, not certain what he may be confronted, and calls for additional assistan t. a shorte afterwards, three officers enter the front of that building and proce down to the w apartmench matches with where the suspect entered from the rear. during a subsequent search fth subject -- and i want to be clear, the involved officer who ched that individual wart of that officer's group of th we officers wt in looking for him again, found that individual in the laundry room, trying to hide behind e of the machines. at that point, they ordered him to surrender, oered him to his feet. he immediately began resisting and a significant struggle nsued between the officers and this subject. one of the officers attempted to taze the individual and bring him under control, but that did

not take effect. and i want to be very clear about this. this is all occurring simultaneously. the taser strikes, but does not take effect, and at at point, one of the other officers, who is in closer proximity to the individual observes that that individual has reached inttb hi wad and armed himself with a handgun. at that point, the officer grabs that weapon, trying to prevent that weapon from, "a," being pointed at one of the officers, s our training takes our officers through, trying to prevent additiona shots. if it's a semiautomatic weapon, that prevents it from panting her round in the chamber. if it's a revolver, it prevents the wheel from rotating. they may get o shot off, but they won't get two. that officer, in grabbing that weapon, likely saves the lives of one of my officers. and he is to be commended for that action. he did sustain ignificant injuries to his hand as that subject was f at us. at that point, the officer who had attempted to taz the dividual then produces his handgun, fires a single shot,

and the suspect drops to the ground. fire board and i want tohank the fire chief for being here and bringing his team this morning. the fire board immediately asseived that iual and determined that he was deceased. so there was no opportunity to enga in life-saving measures because of the nature of the wounds. at that point, notifications occurred, this is under investigation. we are at three hours in terms of tl for service, the subsequent pursuit, and then entering and thestruggle. so my information, as always, for my community is prel iinary. buant to be clear that this is the circumstances as i currently understand it, as is practice. we will be releasing a -- >> policchief there, hank stuwinski, breaking down the events leading up to that police involved shooting, which left one man dead. >> apparently involved a chase, a pursuit into a building there in temple hills, during which there was an encounter, sounds altercation al

it is a weather alert day. so how much rain are we going to get from the remnants of the storm? >> on average, probably about an inch. some placeill get two inches or perhaps a little bit more. but most of us will be getting mewhere around the 1-inch rain. that amount of rain, we can handle. it's the possibility, anliay, for a lod amount into multiple inches. that's the reason that the weather service has issued the ash flood watch. it goes until about midnight tonight. it is unlikely that they will have to extendh it any m longer than that. as you can see here, over washington right t'now, i another cloudy day. another plane load of fol coming into the washington area now and it's going to be a rainy afternoon around here. it may not rain every minute of the afternoon, but i would notf

stray too r from your umbrella. and it's goingaro be a very and humid day, as well. temperatures will stay in ne upper 70s r 80 degrees, even with the rain coming in. so there's your hour-by-hour planner. f upper 70s most of the afternoon. rain could be briefly heavy at times, and there's certainly a chance for some stronger thunderstorms, as well. the tornado threat today is er very, low, but not entirely zero. a big swirling storm, like florence's remnants, still there's a lot ofleftover spi in the atmosphere. tomorrow looks like a d considerably different k day. cloudy and showery through the first half of the day, but past 3:00 or 00, the rain will be coming to an end. there's even a chance we could get a little sunshin in the day tomorrow, and then things will really start to dry out quite nicely but there's the main center of the swirl now, from what was florence, heavy rain from our north. and these thunderstorms down here across southern virginia, those are also coming in our direction. so be ready for the reales cha

of heavier rain later in the day. be on thelookout for high water in c arlottesville culpepper. we'll go back to bright sunshine for three days in a row, with wednesday, ursday, friday. don't push the panic button on the weekend just yet. there is a chanc showers around here, but it does not look like any super soakers, like we' been dealing th. >> all right, chuck. thank you so much. a camel out of control at a circus. we have new video of thisngery ous situation. >> yeah. a and an aspiriy could be doing you more harm than good. a look at some of the risks.
