The police officers involved in the shooting death of a young mother suffering a mental health crisis will not get attorneys paid for by taxpayers.

OUR AREA AND HOW THAT WILL EVOLVE OVER THE WEEKEND. COMING UP. >> THAT'S THE THING SMALL. THE FAYETTEVILLE CITY COUNCIL VOTING NOT TO HELP PROVIDE LEGAL COUNSEL. THE 2 OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE SHOOTING DEATH OF JADEN JOHNSON AND THAT HAS ANGERED THE LEADERSHIP OF THE FAYETTEVILLE POLICE FOUNDATION, WRAL, FAYETTEVILLE, REPORTER GILBERT BAEZ IS LIVE AFTER TALKING WITH THE CITY'S MAYOR ABOUT THIS DECISION. GOODWIN, GOOD AFTERNOON. >> IT DEFINITELY CAN. AND THAT VOTE WAS TAKEN ON JUNE 5TH DURING A WORK SESSION WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS CASE. THIS WAS A CASE WHERE THE POLICE WERE CALLED TO DAVID JOHNSON'S GRANDPARENTS HOME JULY. 1ST OF LAST YEAR BECAUSE SHE WAS SUFFERING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. WE DO HAVE SOME FOOD. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU OF THE OFFICERS COMING INTO OF A HOME AFTER A JUDGE ON 2 WAS SHOT 17 TIMES BY POLICE OFFICERS. NOW AT ONE POINT, JOHNSON DID PULL A GUN OUT AND PUT IT TO HER HEAD. BUT WHEN SHE PUT IT DOWN, OFFICERS WERE ABLE TO SUBDUE HER AND THEN SHOTS WERE FIRED. NOW THE NORTH CAROLINA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, THE FBI AND INTERNAL FROM FABLE POLICE INVESTIGATORS. THEY'VE CLEARED THE OFFICERS OF ANY WRONGDOING AND THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL JOSH STEIN SAID HE WOULD NOT BE PURSUING ANY CHARGES AGAINST THE OFFICERS. HOWEVER, THE FAMILY DID. JOHNSON IS PURSUING A CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION CASE AGAINST THE 2 OFFICERS. THE CITY'S DECISION MEANS THAT THOSE OFFICERS WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN ATTORNEYS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES. >> WE SUPPORT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. THIS PARTICULAR CASE THE INLAY WAS AROUND 17 TIMES AND SO. >> IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD THE BENEFIT OF BEING ABLE TO SEE THE BODY CAM FOOTAGE TO GIVE US SOME MORE CONTEXT FOR MAKING A TOUGH DECISION ABOUT THAT IN THIS CASE TO WORK. >> NOW THE FABLE POLICE FOUNDATION'S RESPONSE. THE DECISION WAS LENGTHY AND HIGHLIGHTS THE DISAPPOINTMENT AND A VOTE OF ONE POINT THEY WANT TO MAKE IS THAT THIS DECISION BY THE CITY COUNCIL WITHHOLD FUNDING TO ASSIST FOR THE GENERAL LEGAL COUNSEL OF THE OFFICERS NOT ONLY JEOPARDIZES THE CITY'S POTENTIAL LEGAL AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES, BUT ALSO FAILS TO DEMONSTRATE RESPONSIBLE REPRESENTATION WITH THE CITIZENS WHO ELECTED THEM. NOW, THIS IS NOT A DONE DEAL AND TALKING WITH THE MAYOR THIS MORNING, HE SAID THAT THEY ARE STILL ASKING JUDGE JIM AMMONS TO RELEASE THAT BODY CAM FOOTAGE. KEN, IF THEY'RE ABLE TO GET THAT FOOTAGE AND TAKE A LOOK AT AT THE CITY COUNCIL MAY RECONSIDER THAT DECISION.

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilmoth in the WRL severe weather center, we still have the smoky haze and that will continue through Friday, but we'll have some improvements as we edge closer to the weekend. Friday, most of North Carolina is in a code yellow. Previously, it was forecast to be code orange for all of North Carolina. Still some counties in the triad over towards Charlotte remain under a code orange but it does not include our viewing area for Friday. We're in a code yellow that continues into Saturday and then by Sunday, we're in the category of green and things should be completely fine, but we still have some of that smoke moving in from the Canadian wildfires that will continue overnight tonight. And through the day on Friday, you can see that Friday morning, we have another area of smoke that will move into the areas. So still some haze in the sky as we progress through the day. On Friday, we'll get up to 82 Friday afternoon. Mostly sunny, still hazy, mostly sunny Saturday. A high of 86 a few clouds around Sunday, about a 20% chance for rain with a high of 80. We have a better chance for scattered showers and storms as we head into Sunday night and especially Monday, here's a look at future cast for Sunday and notice how we will stay dry throughout the daylight hours. The rain stays west of us. But then over night, Sunday into Monday, some of the rain creeping into our western counties. Monday afternoon, we'll have scattered showers, maybe a few storms during the evening, commute. So certainly the next best chance for widespread rain and storms will not happen until we get to Monday evening overnight. Tonight, we'll have mostly clear skies. Still a little hazy. Temperatures will fall into the fifties, maybe 50 in Roxborough, 55 in Raleigh 57 for the low temperature in Fayetteville. The hour by hour forecast for tomorrow again will be under a yellow, so still a little bit of haze, but it shouldn't be too bad to get outside. Tomorrow, temperatures will be comfortable in the morning in the fifties at lunchtime, we're up to 75 and we will climb up to about 82 for the high temperature tomorrow afternoon. Overall, the weekend is looking pretty good, very much like summer time with highs in the mid to upper eighties. Rain chance is very, very minimal. On Sunday, Monday, we will have widespread showers and storms especially the second half of the day. Then Tuesday and Wednesday looks dry but a couple of isolated storms possible again by Thursday
