And now, Preston and Steve's news updates with Kathy Romano.

And today is Wednesday, October 28th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. A second night of unrest broke out in the city of Philadelphia following the police shooting death of Walter Wallace Jr.

Police said 27-year-old Wallace Jr. had a knife and ignored orders to drop the weapon before officers fired shots Monday afternoon.

His parents said Tuesday night that the officers knew their son was in a mental health crisis because they had been to the family's house three times on Monday.

The Wallace family attorney, Shaka Johnson, said the man's wife, Dominique Wallace, is pregnant and is scheduled to have labor induced on Wednesday.

Two of Wallace's nine children briefly spoke at a news conference late Tuesday along with Walter Wallace's mother and father.

When you come to the scene where somebody is in a mental crisis and the only tool you

have to deal with it is a gun, where are the proper tools for the job, Johnson said, arguing

that Philadelphia police officers are not properly trained to handle mental health crisis.

Johnson said Wallace's brother called 911 to request medical assistance and an ambulance.

Video captured Wallace Jr.'s altercation with officers before he was killed.

Put down the knife. Put the knife down. One officer can be heard saying,

police said two officers fired their weapons and struck Wallace Jr. multiple times after he

would not drop the knife. Both officers were wearing body cameras and were taken off

street duty pending the investigation.

Authorities say the officers did not have tasers.

About 500 people gathered at a West Philadelphia Park Tuesday night and began marching peacefully through the neighborhood,

chanting and demanding the names of the officers who opened fire.

After overnight looting in West Philadelphia, hundreds of people were back out ransacking businesses by nightfall.

Hundreds of people could be seen running in and out of businesses along Aramingo Avenue in the city's Port Richmond section, including a foot locker, a Burlington, Target, and a dollar general.
