  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 February
• 0:15
  26, 2026. Let's get you caught up. In news, nothing
• 0:21
  significant to report overnight, but here's a
• 0:23
  look at several incidents that occurred across
• 0:25
  Sacramento throughout the week. Officers responded
• 0:28
  to a fight near Truxell Road and San Juan Road
• 0:31
  where multiple suspects were actively fighting.
• 0:34
  One suspect was detained and found to be carrying
• 0:37
  an illegally possessed concealed firearm. Later,
• 0:41
  evidence of a shooting was located near Watermist
• 0:44
  Way and Consencion Street. No injuries were reported.
• 0:48
  At Del Paso Boulevard and Arden Way, officers
• 0:51
  located an occupied stolen vehicle and arrested
• 0:54
  the driver. And in the Central City District,
• 0:57
  a cyclist fleeing a stop near North B Street
• 1:00
  and Dos Rios Street was later detained and found
• 1:04
  to have a probation violation warrant. Plus,
• 1:08
  officers investigating reports of gunfire in
• 1:10
  the 400 block of Ford Avenue located evidence
• 1:13
  of a shooting, though no victim or property damage
• 1:16
  were reported. In City Watch, Sacramento County
• 1:21
  is celebrating two years of PAWS. That's Pets
• 1:24
  Aid and Wellness Services, a mobile veterinary
• 1:28
  program bringing basic pet care directly to underserved
• 1:31
  neighborhoods. In 2023, PAWS provided just 158
• 1:37
  exams and spay and neuter procedures. By 2024,
• 1:40
  that number jumped to more than 1 ,500 with similar
• 1:45
  service levels sustained in 2025. The program
• 1:49
  focuses on prevention, vaccination, microchipping,
• 1:52
  and wellness support, helping families keep their
• 1:55
  beloved pets healthy and at home. PAWS has already
• 1:59
  raised $200 ,000 towards a new medical trailer.
• 2:04
  and is working to expand spay and neuter and
• 2:06
  dental services across the county. Today's weather
• 2:11
  starts off with widespread dense fog before 8
• 2:15
  a .m., then mostly cloudy skies gradually clear
• 2:18
