  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
  July 17th, 2026. Let's get you caught up. Sacramento
• 0:20
  police are investigating a neighborhood stabbing
• 0:22
  that left three people hospitalized last night
• 0:24
  in South Natomas. Officers responded just after
• 0:28
  8 .45 p .m. to the 3800 block of Roslyn Court
• 0:32
  after reports of a stabbing. Police say an argument
• 0:35
  between neighbors led to the violence, leading
• 0:37
  a wheelchair -bound man and woman with stab wounds.
• 0:41
  The neighboring suspect also suffered a puncture
• 0:44
  wound during the fight. All three were transported
• 0:47
  to the hospital and are reported to be in stable
• 0:49
  condition. The investigation remains ongoing.
• 0:53
  In a Sacramento police daily activity report,
• 0:55
  a parolee at large was arrested after fleeing
• 0:59
  officers on foot during a suspicious vehicle
• 1:02
  investigation at 1600 L Street early Wednesday
• 1:06
  morning. A woman was arrested on Burkett Drive
• 1:09
  after officers say she stabbed another woman
• 1:11
  during a dispute over personal property. The
• 1:14
  victim suffered minor injuries and the suspect
• 1:17
  was booked into jail on felony assault and deadly
• 1:20
  weapons charges. And on Franklin Boulevard, a
• 1:24
  Sacramento police canine officer located an occupied
• 1:27
  stolen vehicle. The driver was safely detained
• 1:30
  and arrested. In today's weather, it'll be sunny
• 1:34
  with a high near 90 degrees. Tonight, expect
• 1:37
  mostly clear skies with a low around 57. Saturday
• 1:40
  stays sunny with a high near 91. And Sunday brings
• 1:45

  the Sacramento Brief. In today's City Watch,
• 2:23
  a significant piece of Sacramento history is
• 2:26
  receiving national recognition. The site of the
• 2:30
  Hackett House in downtown Sacramento has officially
• 2:33
  been added to the National Park Service's Underground
• 2:37
  Railroad Network to Freedom. The black -owned
• 2:40
  hotel became nationally significant in 1858.
• 2:45
  when Archie Lee, an 18 -year -old enslaved man
• 2:48
  who escaped from Mississippi, found refuge there
• 2:51
  after fleeing slavery. With support from Sacramento's
• 2:54
  free black community and legal advocates, Lee
• 2:58
  fought for his freedom in a landmark court case
• 3:01
  that ultimately declared him a free man. Although
• 3:04
  the original Hackett House was demolished in
• 3:07
  the 1960s during the construction of I -5, the
• 3:10
  site now joins a national network preserving
• 3:14
  the stories of those who sought freedom and those
• 3:17
  who helped them along the way. For weekend events,
• 3:21
  if you're looking for something to do, today
• 3:24
  is the 2026 California State Fair officially
• 3:29
  kicks off this morning and runs through August
• 3:32
  2nd. Fair hours are 4 p .m. to 11 p .m. Monday
• 3:37
  through Thursday. Today will open at 10 a .m.
• 3:41
  and go through 11 p .m. That's every Friday through
• 3:44
  Sunday. Gates and exhibit buildings close at
• 3:47
  10 p .m. And on the final day, August 2nd, gates
• 3:51
  will close at 8 p .m. So if you're planning a
• 3:54
  visit this weekend, expect large crowds, plenty
• 3:57
  of food, live entertainment, exhibits, carnival
• 4:00
  rides, and all the classic state fair traditions
• 4:03
  that make it one of Sacramento's biggest summer
• 4:07
  events. And elsewhere in the city, tonight at
• 4:10
  7 p .m., acclaimed trumpeter Daniel Harris III
• 4:13
  performs at the Center for Musical Arts in Sacramento.
• 4:16
  Seating is limited, making for an intimate evening
• 4:19
  of jazz. Saturday morning. Head over to Soil
• 4:23
  Born Farms in Rancho Cordova for Yoko on the
• 4:26
  Farm, a relaxing outdoor class open to all experience
• 4:30
  levels. And on Sunday, the California Automobile
• 4:33
  Museum hosts its popular Sunday Drives, where
• 4:37
  visitors can enjoy free rides in beautifully
• 4:40
  restored classic cars with paid museum admission.
