  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your

  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's

  A police chase near Cal Expo yesterday afternoon
• 0:22
  ended with two arrested and multiple vehicles
• 0:26
  damaged. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff's
• 0:29
  Office, Deputies around 5 p .m. attempted to
• 0:32
  stop a vehicle near Challenge Way and Exposition
• 0:34
  Boulevard involving known gang members and associates.
• 0:39
  The driver led deputies on a short pursuit, striking
• 0:42
  several civilian vehicles along the way. Authorities
• 0:45
  say no injuries were reported, but two illegal
• 0:48
  firearms with extended magazines were recovered.
• 0:52
  Two suspects were arrested and one remains outstanding
• 0:55
  as this investigation continues. And in another
• 1:00
  case earlier this month, officers with the Sacramento
• 1:03
  Police Department Problem Oriented Policing Unit
• 1:07
  spotted an RV with expired registration in the
• 1:10
  3800 block of Florin Road. During the contact,
• 1:14
  officers learned the owner was on probation.
• 1:17
  A probation search of the RV uncovered a machine
• 1:20
  gun. with a silencer, ammunition, and a small
• 1:24
  amount of cocaine. The RV owner, 63 -year -old
• 1:27
  Gary Elliott of Sacramento, was arrested on weapons
• 1:31
  and drugs -related charges. In City Watch, I
• 1:36
  want to share with you that the holidays are
• 1:38
  meant to feel joyful, but for many, they can
• 1:41
  bring complicated emotions. Family gatherings
• 1:44
  can reopen old wounds. or deepen the grief of
• 1:50
  missing someone you love. If this season feels
• 1:53
  heavier, it's okay. Take pauses, set gentle boundaries,
• 1:59
  and allow yourself to feel. This can make a difference.
• 2:04
  Support is always available through the Sacramento
• 2:06
  County Behavioral and Health Services. And if
• 2:09
  you or someone you know needs immediate help,
• 2:12
  you can always call or text 988. You don't have
• 2:18
  to carry the emotional weight alone. In today's
• 2:23
  weather, we're looking at spotty rain throughout
• 2:26
  the day. It will be cloudy. We'll look at highs
• 2:28
  in the high 50s and it will be a bit windy. In
• 2:32
  events tonight, Sacramento. Three ways to get
• 2:37
  your holiday mood without overthinking it. First
• 2:41
  up. Book wreath making at Teneral Cellars. This
• 2:45
  is at 6 .30 p .m. tonight. $45 for general public,
• 2:50
  $40 for members. It includes materials, instructions,
• 2:54
  and a glass of wine while you craft your vintage
• 2:57
  page book wreath at 1050 20th Street. And if
• 3:03
  you'd rather be entertained than glue gunned,
• 3:06
  a Christmas carol. Sam Kebede’s fresh adaptation
• 3:11
  is running through December 28th at 2700 Capitol
• 3:17
  Avenue. Music, comedy, and a cast of three morphing

  with free live music. Rusty Sterling's hits the
