  shortly after 1120 a .m. and found a 31 -year

  and fire personnel, the victim was pronounced
• 0:45
  deceased at the scene. Investigators say the
• 0:49
  suspect fled before deputies arrived, but through
• 0:51
  witness interviews and surveillance video, detectives
• 0:55
  identified Burnside as the suspect and obtained

  a murder warrant. On Tuesday, detectives located
• 1:02
  and arrested him in Pinole, California, without
• 1:05
  incident. He was transported to Sacramento County
• 1:07
  Main Jail and booked on murder charges. Authorities

  say he is ineligible for bail. In other public
• 1:15
  safety news for Monday, The North Sacramento
• 1:18
  officers investigating a suspicious vehicle on
• 1:21
  Northgate Boulevard recovered a stolen firearm,
• 1:24
  narcotics, cash, and scales. Multiple suspects
• 1:27
  were arrested on weapons, narcotics, and warrant
• 1:31
  -related charges. Over near Richards Boulevard,
• 1:34
  Sacramento police investigated reported carjacking
• 1:39
  in which the victim suffered visible injuries.
• 1:44
  The investigation remains ongoing. Over on A
• 1:48
  Street, officers arrested a suspect for assault
• 1:50
  involving a baseball bat that left a victim with
• 1:54
  non -life -threatening injuries. And in South
• 1:57
  Sacramento, officers located a stolen vehicle
• 1:59
  on Abiding Place and arrested the suspected
• 2:02
  driver following an investigation. In City Watch,
• 2:08
  the Sacramento Police Department is adding a
• 2:10
  new emergency... evacuation tool to its fleet.
• 2:15
  Newly built patrol vehicles are now being equipped
• 2:17
  with high -low warning sounds designed specifically
• 2:20
  for large -scale evacuations during major disasters.
• 2:24
  Unlike the traditional police siren, the high
• 2:28
  -low alert will only be used during widespread
• 2:31
  emergencies such as wildfires, levee failures,
• 2:34
  dam breaches, and other situations requiring
• 2:37
  immediate evacuation. Police officials say the
• 2:42
  system serves as a backup when power outages
• 2:45
  damage infrastructure, smoke or communication
• 2:49
  failures limit effectiveness of cell phones,
• 2:52
  internet alerts, radio broadcasts, or other notification
• 2:56
  systems. Residents are encouraged to familiarize
• 3:00
  yourselves with the distinctive sound so that
• 3:03
  you can recognize it if it is ever activated
• 3:06
  during a real emergency. You're tuned in to The
