  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Monday,
• 0:15
  April 20th, 2026. Let's get you caught up. Four
• 0:19
  people were hurt after gunfire broke out Saturday
• 0:22
  night at Howe Park. Sacramento County Sheriff's
• 0:25
  Office say deputies were clearing out a large,
• 0:27
  unauthorized gathering when they heard more than
• 0:30
  20 gunshots. As people fled the area, deputies
• 0:34
  found four victims, three men and one woman,
• 0:37
  all in their 20s with non -life -threatening
• 0:39
  injuries, three suffering gunshot wounds and
• 0:43
  one a grazing injury. The vehicle of interest
• 0:47
  was later located in Fairfield. Three people
• 0:49
  were detained and a firearm was recovered, but
• 0:52
  investigators say it's unclear how or if they're
• 0:56
  connected. This remains an active investigation.
• 0:59
  Anyone with information is asked to contact the
• 1:02
  sheriff's office. As some of you celebrate 420,
• 1:07
  a quick heads up for drivers. Sacramento police
• 1:10
  will be conducting a DUI and driver's license
• 1:13
  checkpoint from 3 to 9 p .m. within the city
• 1:17
  limits. City officials say the locations are
• 1:21
  based on crash data tied to impaired driving.
• 1:25
  Police remind drivers that impairment is not
• 1:28
  limited to alcohol, prescription medication.
• 1:32
  Over -the -counter drugs and marijuana can all
• 1:35
  impact your ability to drive. The first -time
• 1:38
  DUI can cost an average of over $13 ,000, along
• 1:43
  with a suspended license. In City Watch, Sacramento
• 1:48
  County is asking for your input on future of
• 1:51
  its jail system. A virtual community webinar
• 1:54
  is scheduled for Thursday at 5 p .m. where officials
• 1:58
  share updates on the jail system master plan
• 2:01
  project. This session will include a presentation
• 2:05
  to answer the community's questions, a public
• 2:08
  comment period. And also you can submit a written
• 2:13
  comment ahead of time. County leaders say the
• 2:16
  community feedback will help shape long -term
• 2:18
  decisions and identify opportunities for improvement

  across the system. You're tuned into the Sacramento
