  .m., Sacramento police responded to reports of

  gunfire near Northgate Boulevard and Patio Avenue.

  Officers found a man suffering from at least

  one gunshot wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital

  and is currently in stable condition. Police

  believe the shooting may have been a drive -by

  and no suspect was identified. Roadways near

  the scene were temporarily closed during the

  investigation, but reopened shortly afterwards.

  an arrest after reports of a gun threat at a

  to the 1600 block of Beltway shortly before 8
• 0:59
  a .m. after one resident allegedly pointed a

  firearm at another. Police detained the suspect

  The suspect was arrested on related charges.

  In City Watch, Sacramento County has launched
• 1:58
  a new program aimed at breaking the cycle of
• 2:01
  repeated arrests for people struggling with substance
• 2:04
  use and mental health challenges. The new peer
• 2:08
  -led integrated recovery and housing program
• 2:13
  works alongside the district attorney's CORE
• 2:16
  initiative and brings together behavioral health
• 2:19
  services, the district attorney and public defender,
• 2:22
  as well as Monarch Recovery Center. Eligible
• 2:26
  participants can receive treatment, counseling,
• 2:29
  peer support, case management, and housing assistance.
• 2:33
  Monarch Recovery Center is also providing 25
• 2:36
  sober living beds with participants able to receive
• 2:40
  support up to one year. The program does come
• 2:43
  with requirements. Participants must stay engaged
• 2:46
  in treatment, attend court appearances, and remain
• 2:49
  crime -free. Those who successfully complete
• 2:53
  the program may avoid jail time. District Attorney
• 2:57
  Tan Ho says the goal is to replace what he called
• 3:02
  a revolving door of repeated arrest with a path
• 3:04
  towards long -term recovery. You're tuned into
