  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
  July 2nd, 2026. Welcome to season two of the
• 0:18
  Sacramento Brief. Let's get you caught up. A
• 0:22
  man was hospitalized after an early morning shooting
• 0:24
  in Sacramento yesterday. Sacramento police responded
• 0:27
  just before 5 .30 a .m. to reports of a shooting.
• 0:30
  When officers arrived, they found a man suffering
• 0:33
  from at least one gunshot wound. He was taken
• 0:36
  to a nearby hospital with injuries that are not
• 0:38
  considered life -threatening. Police have not
• 0:41
  released an exact location of the shooting or
• 0:43
  any suspect information. The investigation remains
• 0:46
  ongoing. In City Watch, this new Sacramento County
• 0:50
  grand jury report says local schools are missing
• 0:54
  out on opportunities to better prepare students
• 0:56
  for high demand careers through career and technical
• 1:00
  training education or CTE. The report highlights
• 1:04
  programs in health care, construction, agriculture.
• 1:07
  hospitality, public safety, and skilled trades,
• 1:11
  giving students hands -on training and direct
• 1:13
  pathways into the workforce. Despite strong student
• 1:16
  participation, the grand jury found that CTE
• 1:19
  programs receive a small share of high school
• 1:22
  funding. In several of Sacramento County's largest
• 1:25
  school districts, CTE accounts for roughly 2
• 1:29
  % or less of the total high school revenue. even
• 1:33
  though nearly one -quarter to one -third of high
• 1:36
  school students are enrolled in CTE courses.
• 1:39
  The report recommends increasing funding, strengthening
• 1:42
  partnerships with local employers, and community
• 1:45
  colleges, improving awareness among students
• 1:48
  and parents, and expanding transportation opportunities
• 1:52
  so students can access programs outside their
• 1:55
  home campus. The grand jury says expanding CTE
• 1:59
  would help more students graduate with real -life,
• 2:03
  real -world skills, helping them fill critical
• 2:05
  workforce shortages across the Sacramento region.
• 2:10
