  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 Thursday,
• 0:15
  February 12th, 2026. Let's get you caught up.
• 0:19
  Deputies are investigating after someone smashed
• 0:21
  into pallet cakes in Carmichael early yesterday
• 0:24
  and stole the bakery's register, despite the
• 0:27
  shop being cashless. The family -owned business
• 0:30
  had just marked its two -year anniversary. Owners
• 0:33
  say they've repaired the damage and will reopen
• 0:35
  for Valentine's weekend. Anyone with information
• 0:38
  is asked to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's
• 0:41
  Office. In two violent incidents reported Tuesday
• 0:45
  in Sacramento, just before 9 .30 p .m., officers
• 0:48
  responded to a shooting in the 2300 block of
• 0:51
  North Avenue. Police located an adult victim
• 0:54
  suffering from at least one gunshot wound, which
• 0:57
  was non -life threatening. The victim was transported
• 1:00
  to a nearby hospital. No suspect information
• 1:03
  has been released. And earlier that evening,
• 1:06
  just before 6 p .m., officers responded to the
• 1:09
  1300 block of Florin Road after reports that
• 1:13
  a suspect struck an elderly person with a metal
• 1:16
  bike chain, causing minor injuries. The suspect
• 1:19
  was detained at the scene and arrested on felony
• 1:22
  assault charges. Both incidents remain under
• 1:26
  investigation. In City Watch, with Valentine's
• 1:29
  Day around the corner, Sacramento County is inviting
• 1:32
  residents to spread the love. The county's Gifts
• 1:37
  from the Heart program is collecting new, unwrapped
• 1:40
  household essentials for older adults served
• 1:43
  by the Adult Protective Services and In -Home
• 1:46
  Supportive Services. Most needed, throw blankets,
• 1:50
  warm socks, hand towels, cleaning supplies, heating
• 1:53
  pads, and box fans. Donations can be delivered
• 1:58
  or shipped to 8520 Younger Creek Drive in Sacramento.

  And there's also an online Amazon registry available.

  for seniors living on fixed incomes. Also, a
