WE ARE FOLLOWING MULTIPLE BREAKING NEWS STORIES, INCLUDING ALLEGHENY COUNTY POLICE INVESTIGATING AN INCIDENT IN WHICH A MAN WAS SHOT BY A POLICE OFFICER. THIS TOOK PLACE NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF SWISSVALE AVENUE AND ROSS STREET IN WILKINSBURG IN THE PAST HOUR. COUNTY POLICE SAY A WILKINSBURG POLICE OFFICER WAS PATROLLING THAT AREA, AND ACCORDING TO WITNESSES, THE MAN APPROACHED THE POLICE VEHICLE ARMED WITH A HANDGUN. WITHIN THE LAST HOUR, WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE, AN UPDATE FROM ALLEGHENY COUNTY POLICE DISPLAYED THE GUN. THE OFFICER EXITED HIS VEHICLE, ORDERED THE MALE TO DROP THE GUN, WHO NOW HAD THE FIREARM IN HIS HAND. I GAVE HIM SEVERAL VERBAL COMMANDS TO DROP THE WEAPON. HE DID NOT DROP THE WEAPON. THE OFFICER FIRED SHOT THE MALE IN THE CHEST. AT THIS TIME, THE MAN THAT WAS SHOT IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION AT A NEARBY HOSPITAL. NO OFFICERS WERE INJURED AND ANYONE WITH INFORMATION RELATING TO THIS SHOOTING IS ASKED TO CALL THE COUNTY POLICE TIP LINE AT 1833. ALL TIPS. MORE BREAKING NEWS. ALLEGHENY COUNTY HAS A NEW COUNCIL PRESIDENT MICHELLE NACCARATO WAS ELECTED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE TO SUCCEED SUCCEED PAT CATENA. SHE IS THE FIRST WOMAN ELECTED TO THAT ROLE. EVGENI MALKIN WILL RETURN TO THE PENGUINS FOR A 21ST SEASON. HE SIGNED A ONE YEAR CONTRACT WORTH $5.5 MILLION. HE WAS SET TO BECOME A FREE AGENT ON JULY 1ST. WE TURN NOW TO PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION, WEATHER AND A LIVE LOOK FROM OUR ACTION CAM OVER DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH ON THIS TUESDAY EVENING. IT WAS A WARM AND CLEAR DAY FOR MOST OF US, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME INCOMING RAIN THAT WILL MAKE TOMORROW AN IMPACT DAY. CHIEF METEOROLOGIST MIKE HARVEY HERE TO DISCUSS THAT. AND MIKE, IN TERMS OF TIMING HERE, THAT RAIN REALLY GETS GOING OVERNIGHT. IT DOES. AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WE\u2019LL HAVE THE BEST POTENTIAL. SEEING THAT HEAVY RAIN MOVING IN. NOT GOING TO LAST FOR TERRIBLY LONG PERIOD OF TIME. BUT IF YOU\u2019RE SOUTH OF PITTSBURGH, DEFINITELY SOME WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SOME HEAVY RAIN MOVING IN RIGHT NOW. VERY LIGHT RAIN JUST PUSHING FROM THE SOUTH UP TO THE NORTH. AND WE HAVE A JUST A COUPLE SPOTS OF RAIN DOWN TOWARDS FARMINGTON AND MOUNT LEBANON THAT\u2019S MOVING UP TOWARDS PITTSBURGH. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT\u2019S VERY LIGHT RAIN AND VERY SPORADIC AROUND THE AREA. AS WE GET INTO TOMORROW MORNING, ABOUT 5:00, 6:00 IN THE MORNING, YOU CAN SEE DOWN AROUND I-70, THAT\u2019S WHERE WE\u2019LL HAVE THE HEAVIEST RAIN MOVING THROUGH. MOST OF THE RAIN FROM PITTSBURGH SOUTH. SOME LIGHT RAIN WILL MAKE IT UP JUST PAST ALLEGHENY COUNTY. AND THEN WE HEAD TOWARDS 9:00, 10:00 IN THE MORNING. STILL, THE HEAVY RAIN DOWN SOUTH, AND IT WILL MOVE OUT OF HERE, LIKELY BY NOON. MOST OF THE RAIN WILL BE GONE. WE\u2019LL HAVE A COUPLE OF STRAY SHOWERS AND THAT WILL BE ABOUT IT. AREAS IN YELLOW, YELLOW. THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING THE HEAVIEST RAIN CHANCES. THAT\u2019S BASICALLY FROM WASHINGTON DOWN TO MORGANTOWN AND OVER TO UNIONTOWN, AS WELL AS GREENE COUNTY, MONONGAHELA COUNTY PRESTON, ALSO DOWN TOWARDS GARRETT. IN THOSE AREAS, YOU CAN SEE AN INCH OF RAIN OR MORE. AND OF COURSE, WITH ALL THE RAIN WE\u2019VE HAD, THE GROUND IS SATURATED, SO THAT COULD LEAD TO SOME CREEKS AND STREAMS COMING OUT OF THEIR BANKS, SOME PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS. NEXT THREE DAYS LOOK LIKE THIS IMPACT DAY ON WEDNESDAY FOR THE MORNING RAIN, 78 DEGREES. AND THEN WE\u2019RE IN THE MID 70S ON THURSDAY. IT WILL BECOME MOSTLY SUNNY ON FRIDAY, MOSTLY SUNNY AND PLEASANT, A HIGH OF 75. A MAN IN JAIL IS ACCUSED OF BREAKING INTO A WOMAN\u2019S HOME IN OAKLAND AND SEXUALLY ASSAULTING HER WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING. HE WAS LATER CAPTURED THANKS TO A TRACKING DEVICE. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER MARCY CIPRIANI IS AT THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY JAIL WITH REACTION FROM STUDENTS THAT LIVE NEARBY. ACCORDING TO COURT PAPERS, AN AIRTAG MISSING FROM THE VICTIM\u2019S HOME HELPED POLICE TRACK THEIR SUSPECT, 29 YEAR OLD CHARLES WILLIS, WHO IS NOW HERE IN THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY JAIL CHARGED WITH BREAKING INTO A COLLEGE STUDENT\u2019S HOME, THEN CLIMBING INTO HER BED. THAT\u2019S THAT\u2019S THAT\u2019S TERRIFYING FOR STUDENTS HEARING WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS STARTLING. THAT\u2019S ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. SCOTT POLLOCK LIVES LIKE SO MANY PITT STUDENTS IN SOUTH OAKLAND, NOT FAR FROM PARKVIEW AVENUE, WHERE POLICE SAY CHARLES WILLIS BROKE INTO A STUDENT\u2019S HOME, THEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER AS SHE SLEPT. ACCORDING TO COURT PAPERS, WHEN THE VICTIM WOKE UP, THE SUSPECT STOPPED AND CALMLY LEFT. POLICE SAY SHE WATCHED HIM LEAVE THROUGH HER FRONT PORCH WINDOW. YOU CAN SEE WHERE INVESTIGATORS DUSTED FOR PRINTS, WHICH THEY SAY MATCHED WILLIS. THEY SAY THEY ALSO TRACKED HIM THROUGH CAMERAS THAT POLICE SAY SHOW WILLIS TRYING TO GET INTO MORE HOMES AFTER THE ASSAULT. I MEAN, IT\u2019S TRAGIC. JACK BOZARTH SAYS HE AND HIS ROOMMATES ARE PAYING EXTRA ATTENTION. AND POLICE SAY WHILE WILLIS TRIED OTHER DOORS, CAMERAS DID NOT CAPTURE HIM ENTERING ANY OTHER HOMES THAT NIGHT. BUT THE FEAR IT CREATED AMONG STUDENTS IS CLEAR THROUGHOUT SOUTH OAKLAND. THAT MAKES ME REALLY MORE PARANOID. BUT POLICE SAY WHILE THEY IDENTIFIED WILLIS THROUGH HIS PRINTS, IT WAS THE VICTIM\u2019S AIRTAG THAT LED THEM TO HIM. THEY SAY SHE REALIZED IT WAS MISSING AND GAVE POLICE THE LOCATION WHERE IT WAS PINGING NEAR PHIPPS CONSERVATORY. POLICE SAY THAT\u2019S WHERE THEY SPOTTED WILLIS. THEY SAY HE ADMITTED TO THE CRIME AND SAID THE SHIRT HE WAS WEARING AT THE TIME WAS AT THE HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT NEAR A LAKE IN SCHENLEY PARK, NOT FAR FROM THE VICTIM\u2019S HOME, A CRIME THAT PITT STUDENTS SAY HAS CREATED FEAR.

A JUDGE HAS DENIED HIM BAIL, CLAIMING THAT HE WOULD BE A DANGER TO HIS VICTIM AND THE PUBLIC. COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY FROM THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY JAIL. MARCIE CIPRIANI PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR, COVERING MERCER COUNTY. A WOMAN IS IN CUSTODY FOLLOWING A DEADLY SHOOTING IN HERMITAGE. POLICE SAY 32 YEAR OLD TANISHA TEAGUE WAS INVOLVED IN THIS SHOOTING LAST NIGHT IN THE PARKING LOT OF A LOWE\u2019S. INVESTIGATORS HAVE CHARGED HER WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER, AMONG OTHER CHARGES.

PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE CONTINUE THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THAT FIRE. OFFICIALS IN LAWRENCE COUNTY ARE INVESTIGATING WHAT THEY ARE CALLING A SUSPICIOUS FIRE IN NEW CASTLE. REPORTER YASMIN RODRIGUEZ SPOKE WITH THE FIRE CHIEF AND BRINGS US THAT STORY. THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN VACANT FOR YEARS, BUT NEW CASTLE FIRE CHIEF MIKE COLBY TELLS ME CREWS FOUND MULTIPLE IGNITION POINTS INSIDE THE BUILDING, CALLING THE FIRE SUSPICIOUS. NOW, IT WAS AROUND 10 P.M. MONDAY NIGHT WHEN CREWS WERE FIRST CALLED TO NORTH MERCER STREET IN NEW CASTLE. THE BUILDING WAS OMITTING HEAVY SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE QUICKLY COMING THROUGH. BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR WINDOWS, BUT CREWS REALIZED THEY WERE DEALING WITH ANOTHER ISSUE. BECAUSE THE EXPOSURES ARE SO CLOSE TO BUILDINGS ON EITHER SIDE. THEY\u2019RE ONLY ABOUT TWO AND A HALF TO THREE FEET. SO OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE WAS TO PROTECT THOSE EXPOSURES. CONNOLLY\u2019S CLEANERS IS ADJACENT TO THAT VACANT BUILDING AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER 40 YEARS. THE OWNER, CONNIE MCMICHAEL, SAYS THANKFULLY, HER BUILDING SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. THEY PERFORMED AN AGGRESSIVE ATTACK ON THAT BUILDING TO TRY AND SUPPRESS THE FLAMES AND KEEP IT FROM SPREADING INTO THE BUILDINGS ON EITHER SIDE. BUT NOW SHE\u2019S LEFT WITH THE FEAR THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE INTENTIONALLY STARTED THIS FIRE. I WASN\u2019T HERE LAST NIGHT, AND IT\u2019S PROBABLY A GOOD THING I WASN\u2019T. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I SAW SOME OF THE PICTURES THIS MORNING AND IT WAS PRETTY UGLY. CHIEF COLBY SAYS FOUR COMPANIES FROM SURROUNDING AREAS WERE HERE AS WELL, HELPING TO CONTAIN THAT FIRE, AND TWO FIREFIGHTERS DID SUSTAIN MINOR INJURIES DUE TO GLASS. WE HAD THE FLAMES SUPPRESSED IN ABOUT AN HOUR AND 45 MINUTES, AND THEN WE WERE THERE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER HOUR AND 45 MINUTES, DOING. OVERALL, THE BUILDING HAS NOW BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS AND THE OWNER ALREADY HAS PLANS TO\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
