  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 Wednesday,
• 0:15
  November 19th, 2025. Let's get you caught up.

  Deputies responded to a dangerous scene Tuesday
• 0:23
  afternoon after reports of a man firing in cars
• 0:26
  nearby Madison Avenue at College Oaks Drive.
• 0:31
  Witnesses said the suspect ran from the area,
• 0:33
  but with help from a helicopter and canine, deputies
• 0:37
  found him at a nearby apartment complex. After
• 0:40
  a brief struggle, the 20 -year -old was detained
• 0:42
  and identified through surveillance video. No
• 0:45
  injuries were reported, and he was booked into
• 0:48
  the main jail. In a separate public safety investigation,
• 0:53
  sheriff's officials arrested a 29 -year -old
• 0:56
  man accused of suspicious activity around several
• 0:59
  East County schools. A search warrant uncovered
• 1:04
  modified firearms, tactical gear, and smoke devices
• 1:07
  inside his home. He was booked on multiple felonies
• 1:11
  and later released on bond. Detectives are asking
• 1:15
  anyone who may have encountered him posing as
• 1:18
  law enforcement to contact the Sheriff's Office
• 1:21
  immediately. In City Watch, the Sacramento Police
• 1:25
  Department just secured a $350 ,000 traffic safety
• 1:30
  grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.
• 1:34
  The funding runs through September of 2026 and
• 1:38
  will boost DUI checkpoints, distracted driving
• 1:42
  enforcement, and operations targeting speed and
• 1:47
  red light running, and unsafe driving around
• 1:50
  cyclists and pedestrians. It also supports officer
• 1:54
  training and community education aimed at reducing
• 1:57
  crashes and keeping Sacramento's roads safer
• 2:00
  for everyone. In weather today, it's going to
• 2:04
  be partly cloudy conditions this morning, with
• 2:07
  more clouds moving in this evening with rain
• 2:10
  overnight. Expect temperatures today to hit about
• 2:14
  60 degrees. For events, the Crocker Art Museum

  hosts its next Kingsley Lecture Series today.

  tomorrow from 12 to 2. It's a drop -in program
• 2:57
  designed for homeschool families to explore the

  museum at their own pace. It's $5 per person
