  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,
• 0:16
  September 4th, 2026. Let's get you caught up.
• 0:19
  We begin with an update to a story we brought
• 0:21
  you yesterday from Rosemont area. Sacramento
• 0:24
  County Sheriff's Office say a man was found dead
• 0:26
  inside a home early Thursday morning following
• 0:29
  a roughly three -hour standoff. Deputies were
• 0:32
  called shortly before 1245 a .m. after the victim's
• 0:36
  adult son went to a neighbor's home and asked
• 0:38
  them to call 911, reporting that his father's
• 0:41
  girlfriend had shot him. When deputies arrived,
• 0:44
  several people were potentially still inside
• 0:47
  the residence. At one point, a woman identified
• 0:50
  as a suspect came to the front door holding a
• 0:53
  firearm. She later placed the weapon on the porch
• 0:56
  and went back inside. Deputies evacuated the
• 0:59
  three adults and three children from the accessory
• 1:03
  dwelling unit behind the home, along with residents
• 1:06
  of nearby homes. After repeated announcements
• 1:08
  asking the suspect to surrender, deputies deployed
• 1:11
  chemical agents and a drone into the residence
• 1:14
  where authorities say the woman was seen with
• 1:17
  at least one additional firearm. Special enforcement
• 1:20
  detail personnel eventually entered the home
• 1:22
  and detained her without further incident. An
• 1:26
  adult man was found dead inside. Homicide detectives
• 1:29
  and crime scene investigators are handling the
• 1:32
  case and authorities say they do not believe
• 1:34
  there are any outstanding suspects. And elsewhere
• 1:38
  in Sacramento County, deputies investigating
• 1:39
  a Wednesday night shooting outside a laundromat
• 1:47
  on Madison Avenue. Shortly before 10 .45 p .m.,
• 1:51
  deputies responded to the 5400 block of Madison
• 1:53
  Avenue where a man was found suffering from a
• 1:56
  single gunshot wound to the leg. Deputies provided
• 1:59
  medical aid, including applying a tourniquet,
• 2:01
  before the man was taken to the hospital in stable
• 2:05
  condition. According to the sheriff's office,
• 2:07
  the victim did not provide investigators with
• 2:09
  information about what led to the shooting. Detectives
• 2:13
  are now continuing the investigation and are
• 2:15
  looking for witnesses and surveillance video
• 2:17
