  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 Friday,
• 0:16
  October 23rd, 2026. Let's get you caught up.
• 0:20
  A Sacramento County Sheriff's investigation is
• 0:22
  underway after an officer -involved shooting
• 0:24
  involving Citrus Heights Police Thursday afternoon.
• 0:28
  According to the sheriff's office, the incident
• 0:30
  began just before noon when the California Highway
• 0:32
  Patrol officer had a suspect at gunpoint. The
• 0:37
  situation developed into a vehicle pursuit involving
• 0:39
  two CHP vehicles and a Citrus Heights police
• 0:42
  vehicle. A Sacramento County Sheriff's deputy
• 0:45
  observed the pursuit traveling eastbound on Business
• 0:48
  80 near El Camino Avenue, but did not join in.
• 0:51
  The pursuit eventually ended on Fulton Avenue,
• 0:54
  just north of Michelle Drive, where authorities
• 0:57
  say the suspect got out of his vehicle armed
• 0:59
  with a knife. Officers repeatedly ordered him
• 1:03
  to drop the weapon. A sheriff's deputy prepared
• 1:05
  a less lethal shotgun while Citrus Heights officers
• 1:09
  deployed a taser. But authorities say the taser
• 1:13
  was ineffective. Investigators say the suspect
• 1:15
  then charged towards the officer while still
• 1:18
  holding the knife. The sheriff's deputy fired
• 1:21
  one less lethal round, striking him in the chest.
• 1:24
  When the suspect continued advancing, two Citrus
• 1:27
  Heights officers fired their duty weapons. Officers
• 1:31
  immediately began providing medical aid. The
• 1:34
  suspect was taken to a local hospital and was
• 1:37
  listed in stable condition. His knife was recovered
• 1:40
  at the scene. No deputies or officers were injured.
• 1:44
  The Sacramento Sheriff's Office says neither
• 1:47
  of the deputies, nor the CHP officers fired their
• 1:51
  duty weapons. Sacramento County Sheriff's Homicide
• 1:54
  Bureau is leading the investigation and the Sacramento
• 1:57
  County District Attorney's Office will conduct
• 1:59
  an independent review. Now for your Friday's
• 2:04
  forecast. We'll start partly sunny before skies
• 2:07
  gradually clear with a high near 72. Friday night
• 2:10
  will be clear with a cooler evening around 46
• 2:14
  degrees. This weekend looks pretty comfortable.
• 2:17
  Saturdays will be sunny with a high near 73 and
• 2:20
  nighttime lows around 47. Sunday stays mostly
• 2:24
  sunny with a high near 74 before temperatures
• 2:27
  fall back down into the upper 40s Sunday night.
