  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,
• 0:16
  January 12th, 2026, and there's a lot going on.
• 0:19
  So let's get to it. Early this morning, there
• 0:22
  was a deadly house fire in the 2800 block of
• 0:25
  43rd Street in Oak Park. An investigation is
• 0:27
  underway to determine the cause of the fire and
• 0:30
  if the person passed away from smoke inhalation
• 0:32
  or some other cause. Sacramento law enforcement
• 0:36
  made multiple arrests over the weekend following
• 0:38
  a series of incidents across the city. Deputies
• 0:41
  say an adult man was shot in the chest near the
• 0:44
  2400 block of Larkspur Lane, later passed away
• 0:47
  at the hospital. Sacramento County Sheriff's
• 0:50
  Office is asking anyone with information to please
• 0:53
  come forward. In North Sacramento, officers arrested
• 0:56
  two suspects after responding to reports of suspicious
• 1:00
  activity near a vacant lot in the 200 block of
• 1:03
  Wilson Avenue just before 4 p .m. Witnesses reported
• 1:07
  individuals wearing ski masks working on a U
• 1:09
  -Haul. One suspect attempted to flee but was
• 1:12
  quickly detained. Officers recovered a loaded
• 1:15
  firearm, burglary tools, and evidence the U -Haul
• 1:19
  had been tampered with. Both suspects were arrested.
• 1:22
  Earlier Saturday morning, officers responded
• 1:25
  to an assault near Natoma Way and Roanoke Avenue.
• 1:29
  The victim reported being assaulted with a knife
• 1:32
  after an initial confrontation involving a shovel.
• 1:36
  The victim suffered minor injuries and the suspect
• 1:39
  was located and arrested. And just before 1 p
• 1:43
  .m., officers responded to reports of shots fired
• 1:45
  in the 700 block of Lampasas Avenue. Investigators
• 1:49
  say a suspect fired a gun into the air and then
• 1:52
  attempted to run from officers. He was quickly
• 1:55
  detained and the police recovered a firearm equipped
• 1:58
  with an extended magazine. No injuries were reported.
• 2:03
  A short time later, another pursuit ended near
• 2:06
  Del Paso Boulevard and GlenRose Avenue after
• 2:09
  officers attempted a traffic stop for a vehicle
• 2:12
  code violation. The driver fled, crashed into
• 2:15
  a ditch, and both occupants ran on foot before
• 2:19
  being detained. The vehicle was confirmed stolen,
• 2:22
  a loaded extended magazine was recovered, and
• 2:25
  one suspect was found to have outstanding felony
• 2:28
  warrants. Both were arrested. And in South Sacramento,
• 2:32
  another pursuit unfolded around 6 .15 p .m. near
• 2:36
  24th Street and 33rd Avenue. Officers say a driver
• 2:40
  failed to stop a traffic violation, abandoned
• 2:45
  the vehicle, and ran. With help from an air unit,
• 2:48
  officers located and arrested the suspect, who
• 2:51
  had an outstanding felony warrant. Also, Sacramento.
• 2:56
  Unfortunately, we've had our second deadly vehicle
• 2:59
  versus pedestrian. A man was struck near Arden
• 3:02
  Way and Heritage Lane Sunday and later died at
• 3:05
  the hospital. Police are continuing an investigation.
• 3:09
  In City Watch. Heads up. If you know someone
• 3:14
