The Sacramento Brief Friday August 28, 2026 | Sacramento Shooting, DUI Checkpoint & a Weekend Weather Surprise · The Sacramento Brief

  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
  August 28th, 2026. Let's get you caught up. We
• 0:20
  begin in South Hagenwood where Sacramento police
• 0:22
  are investigating a shooting around 645 p .m.
• 0:26
  yesterday. Evening officers responded to the
• 0:29
  area of Del Paso Boulevard and Helena Avenue.
• 0:31
  Police found a man with a leg injury that investigators
• 0:34
  believe was to be caused by a ricocheting bullet.
• 0:37
  He was taken to a hospital for treatment. Officers
• 0:40
  also located and detained a suspect. Police have
• 0:43
  not released additional details about what led
• 0:45
  up to that shooting. And a heads up, if you're
• 0:48
  heading out tonight, Sacramento Police will be
• 0:50
  conducting a DUI checkpoint somewhere within
• 0:53
  the city from 8 p .m. until 1 a .m. tomorrow
• 0:57
  morning. Police say checkpoint locations are
• 1:00
  selected based on data involving impaired driving
• 1:03
  crashes. And remember, impairment does not only
• 1:06
  mean alcohol. Some prescription and over -the
• 1:09
  -counter medications can affect your ability
• 1:11
  to drive. And while marijuana is legal in California,
• 1:15
  driving under the influence of it is not. A first
• 1:18
  -time DUI can cost an average of... a little
• 1:21
  over $13 ,000 in fines and penalties, along with
• 1:25
  a suspended license. So wherever your Friday
• 1:28
  night takes you, plan ahead and get home safely.
• 1:32
  Today, you might see a few drops this morning.
• 1:35
  There's a 20 % chance of rain before 11 a .m.,
• 1:38
  followed by mostly cloudy skies and a high near
• 1:41
  87. Tonight... Clouds gradually clear with a
• 1:44
  low around 60 and the weekend is looking beautiful.
• 1:47
  Saturday will be sunny with a high near 89 dropping
• 1:51
  to a low of about 57 overnight and Sunday more
• 1:54
  sunshine with a high around 88. Today's Sacramento
• 1:58

  Four Sacramento properties officially have a
• 2:33
  new distinction. The City Council recently added
• 2:36
  four buildings to Sacramento's Register of Historic
• 2:39
  and Cultural Resources. They include three homes
• 2:42
  and the former El Dorado School, with architecture
• 2:46
  ranging from Queen Anne and Spanish Revival to
• 2:49
  Tudor and Colonial Revival. The oldest is a 1901
• 2:53
  Queen Anne home at 3137 33rd Street in Oak Park.
• 2:58
  dating back to the neighborhood's development
• 3:00
  as Sacramento's first streetcar suburb. The former
• 3:05
  El Dorado School at 5241 J Street opened in 1921
• 3:09
  and still features its Spanish Revival clay tile
• 3:13
  roof, arch entrances, and ornamental bell tower.
• 3:18
  Also making the list, a 1928 Tudor Revival home
• 3:22
  at 1957 13th Avenue and a 1941 Colonial Revival
• 3:27
  residence at 1445 45th Street in East Sacramento.
• 3:32
  Historic designation doesn't mean the property
• 3:35
  can never change. It means future exterior alterations
• 3:39
  are reviewed with a historic character in mind.
• 3:42
  The properties may also qualify for Sacramento's
• 3:45
  Mill Act program, which can provide property
• 3:49
  tax savings in exchange for preserving and maintaining
• 3:53
  historic buildings. You're tuned in to the Sacramento

  Just ask for the Sacramento Brief. And now, back
• 4:08
  to the Brief. Before we continue, I want to share
• 4:11
  something a little personal. After an accident
• 4:14
  affected how much I can work, I've fallen behind
• 4:17
  financially and I'm working to get back up and
• 4:20
  on track. I'm asking for a little help, which
• 4:23
  is not easy for me, but I would love your support.
• 4:28
  And even if it's just to share the campaign,
• 4:30
  I'd be so grateful. You can find the link in
• 4:34

• 4:42
  you, I'd like to recognize the first 10 people
• 4:44
  who support the campaign on the show. Thank you
