At noon. Police moved in on 38yearold garland tyree. He walked out of his home fired this loaded Assault Rifle according to police after refusing to be taken alive on a probation violation warrant. Loved ones were hysterical as the wanted gang member died in a barrage of police gunfire. The standoff began at dawn. U. S. Marshals and the nypd came to take him into custody. He was armed to the teeth with guns and ammo. When police tried to take tyree in about 5 45 a. M. , firefighters were called to battle smoke inside the home.

Its a Beach Weekend with slight chance of showers. Warm water at the shore. Sea temperatures from 74 up to 80 degrees down around portions of the jersey shore. Thats a mild water for us out there. So what will the skies be doing . Again, they look good for the entire weekend. Saturday has that slight chance for a shower. But around the beaches i put it at 20 or less. Its a warm day 85 to 89. Sunday partly to mostly sunny skies. Temperatures warmer about the same 58 to 88. Now if you take a look right now, its quiet out there except for those areas north of us right around albany. You have some thunderstorms pushing through. A couple could slide down. They are not going to go well south but they could make and dutchess counties. If you are in the mountains that same trend is more so for you. Your rain chance in the mountains 30 chance for saturday. 84 to 88. Sunday 20 or less but a slight risk, not major. Mountains or beaches its a go this weekend. It looks really nice. If you look at the heat, its all coming in from those areas south and west for us, where this air mass is coming in from. [ mispronunciation ] its not moisture. Its going to be rainfall. Its going to be the humidity. You will feel the humidity on the way up. Otherwise it will be a nice Beach Weekend. Rain possibly making its way down into Sullivan County and you willster. Not a big problem. A big day, make you can find a shower in the mountains. I dont think Mother Nature subscribes to this computer model but it could drop down a bit so i put in a 30 chance for a shower if you are heading north or west of the city. Not a big risk if you are at the beaches for saturday. Then you get into your day on sunday. Looks good. Is there any rain . I mean, could be some. Remember, when the computer models show you a light green color like this, thats a real light shower. So if you see any rain on sunday its not going to be too much of anything. Its really a good weekend from start to finish. Heat is going to be one of the big stories of so youre right there, that would make a heat wave for four days in a row. We were close already. We had a twoday run and the third day was 89 couple of weeks ago so no heat wave but this could be the same. Just know its going to be hot and humid. The streak continues. Right. Another great weekend. The weekend have been fabulous. Thank you. Otis is up next with a look at sports. After lackluster preseason debut the jets bringing another backup quarterback candidate ill tell how it is. For the second straight weekend yankees blue jays first place showdown this time around, the yankees are the hunters not the hunted. Cbs2 wfan sports update. Well get to the jets news in a moment. But the yankees we are going to start with. Further back. Turn about is fair play. After getting swept at home last weekend the yankees will try to return the favor in toronto beginning a threegame set tonight. Unlike the previous series the yankees are the team in second place thanks to a fivegame losing streak. The yankees went from 4. 5 games up to half game back. Theres a little matter of the blue jays being the hottest team in the majors. Dont expect this to be easy for the yankees. They are going to have to take it. At home the last few days, know, it will be tough. I know it will be a big series and, you know, their fans are pretty rowdy up there. It will be a great atmosphere. Im looking forward to the challenge. If the blue jays are hot, the mets are riding a four game winning streak. They have won 11 of 13 going into the series opener against the pirates at city fields. Now to football. The giants kick off their preseason action tonight and they will be very familiar with tonights opponents having practiced against the bengals the last few days. Beckham has looked good so he is healthy. Lets not forget, before he went out and had that spectacular rookie season, he didnt play at all in the preseason with the hamstring injury so this will be his big blue preseason debut. What do we have to wear to the game stuff like that because i really i didnt know i was at home every weekend every time they traveled i was at home. And i got to go to the preseason games last year but whole thing. So this is all kind of ne new to me, as well. The quarterback was a question mark for the jets even before the jaw breaking punch to geno smith. Now they have to decide if bryce petty is a capable backup. He went 10 for 18 last night. He took a physical with the jets, matt flynn. He was just released by the patriots four days ago. Finally tonight remember the hard feelings between yankees and arod heading into spring training . The jinx trying to see if they can get out of paying for his milestones because of ped use . The things have changed. They will honor his 3,000 hit in a pregame ceremony on september 13. They didnt even acknowledge his 660th home run to tie time. So things starting to work out for beat sides i guess. Arod having a successful season helping them get to almost first place right now so and he is saying all the right things. He is. He knew he had to fall on his sword. [ overlapping speakers ] all right. Well be right back. Closed captioning on cbs 2 news is brought to you by lonnie has a final check of the weekend weather. Lets do it twice its so good. The deal is its going to be a great Beach Weekend. Heres the beach forecast. Climb up those steps get up on that observation deck. Look at the sailboats. Warm tomorrow 85 to 89. Sunday similar temperatures. Skies overhead for the weekend it will be partly sunny. I think its not going to be void of clouds. There will be a couple of clouds. Its a niece weekend. Then a slight chance for a shower saturday even smaller chance on sunday. Those are your temperatures at the beach. The shore in the mid to upper 80s. In the city its possible to see 90 not just saturday. I think you could see 90 from saturday through tuesday outside chance, you get into wednesday, even. All right. Its possible.
