  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,
• 0:15
  June 12th, 2026. Let's get you caught up. A tragic
• 0:19
  hit and run investigation is underway after a
• 0:21
  nine -year -old girl was killed yesterday evening
• 0:23
  in South Oak Park. Sacramento police responded
• 0:26
  just before 8 p .m. into the area of 36th Street
• 0:30
  and 19th Avenue where a vehicle struck a minibike
• 0:33
  carrying an adult male and a young girl. Both
• 0:36
  victims were transported to a local hospital.
• 0:38
  The girl later died from her injuries. The adult
• 0:41
  male suffered serious injuries but is expected
• 0:44
  to survive. The driver fled the scene before
• 0:47
  officers arrived. Police have not released a
• 0:50
  vehicle description but are asking anyone with
• 0:53
  information to please come forward. And elsewhere,
• 0:57
  about 30 vehicles were destroyed yesterday evening
• 0:59
  in a large fire at a Rancho Cordova salvage yard.
• 1:03
  Sacramento Metro fire crews responded around
• 1:06
  6 .30 p .m. to the property near Luyung Road,
• 1:09
  south of White Rock Road. Firefighters arrived
• 1:13
  to find numerous vehicles burning inside a salvage
• 1:16
  yard. Crews quickly contained the fire, preventing
• 1:19
  it from spreading to nearby structures. No injuries
• 1:23
  were reported and no buildings were damaged.
• 1:26
  Officials estimated approximately 30 vehicles
• 1:28
  in total were lost. The cause remains under investigation.
• 1:33
  Sacramento police made two assault -related arrests
• 1:36
  on Wednesday. In Midtown, officers responded
• 1:39
  to a fight in the 900 block of 27th Street and
• 1:42
  found a victim suffering from minor injuries
• 1:44
  after being struck with a pipe. A suspect was
• 1:48
  located nearby and arrested. Meanwhile, officers
• 1:52
  responded to reports of a person throwing rocks
• 1:56
  and moving vehicles on Freeport Boulevard. They
• 1:59
  located a suspect who had armed himself with
• 2:01
  scissors and attempted to flee. Officers detained
• 2:05
  the individual, who was also identified as a
• 2:08
  parolee at large. And police were investigating
• 2:12
  a shooting report in the 4400 block of Mack Road.
• 2:16
  Officers located evidence of gunfire at the scene
• 2:19
  but initially found no victim. A short time later,
• 2:22
  an adult male arrived at a local hospital with
• 2:25
  non -life -threatening gunshot wound. Investigators
• 2:28
  are working to determine if the injury is in
• 2:30
  connection with the Mack Road shooting. You're
