>> the police are doing their job trying to apprehend the guy and they did. but i wish they would have just caught him without shooting him of course. >> reporter: the man survived and has since pled guilty to a number of charges including the illegal possession of a gun. but in watching the video, penn says he is torn on whether the deputy was justified in shooting the man in the back. we reviewed the napa county sheriff's office's own policies and found the use of deadly force is allowed when deputies fear for their safety. or that of the public. >> he had a gun in his hand. i don't know what the policeman was thinking. maybe he was fearing for his life. >> this comes down to a decision made in a matter of miliseconds. >> reporter: mike milinger is a former police officer and analyst. he believes the deputy had every reason to shoot. >> you are in a residential neighborhood and it appears to me the suspect is running directly toward someone's house. and, if that subject were to get into the house, you have a

hostage barricade situation. you had people that are injured. shot. >> reporter: but cody salvin, a former firearms instructor who works as a defense attorney argues the shooting didn't have to happen. and says the suspect appears to throw away one gun and then another. just before he is shot. >> the fact someone had actively fleeing from law enforcement doesn't necessarily in and of itself give rise to justification to use deadly force. the fact that someone is armed doesn't necessarily give rise to the officer's use of deadly force. we have to look at the totality of the circumstances. >> reporter: the napa county sheriff's office says it is still investigating. i'm bigad shaban. >> if you have a story for bigad shaban, you can call 888- 996-tips or visit our website, nbc bay area.com/investigations. a high school substitute teacher is among six men arrested for trying to have sex

get a closer look at where the heavier rain is now. i will zoom this in closer. parts of fremont as well. we are seeing the widespread white to moderate. stretching into gilroy. if you had plans to travel to the sierra, hold off please, look at how heavy the rain is now. not only that, but we are also seeing lightning strikes. so that instability will continue. we will see a chance for thunderstorms. not only for tonight, but also tomorrow. there is a winter storm warning all through sunday morning. we are talking about the possibility of two to three feet for the higher ridges but the snow levels drop lower heading into saturday night especially. when is the break? if you notice overnight, this is around 2:00 a.m., the next

hour-and-a-half or so, we will catch a brief break. by 6:00 a.m., we get a line of showers that pushes through. and that sort of continues on and off scattered through about 10:00, 11:00. then we get the trough behind it by around 1:00, 2:00. it becomes much more widespread. that is going to continue and linger into saturday evening and into early sunday morning as well. so even though the winds have tamed, i want to give you a look at the totals, notice a lot of the major red zones are in the coastal areas and the coastal mountains. and that is really taking it all the way not only through friday, but also in through parts of sunday as well. for tomorrow, we will only be in the 50s and the 60s because it is a colder storm. we are going to see only daytime highs. about 61 degrees. that chance for thunderstorms on sunday. on sunday, about 6:00, 7:00 at night. we will see that diminish so the evening plans should be okay. but the cooldown will be felt.
