The Sacramento Brief — March 11, 2026
In today’s Sacramento Brief:
A crash briefly shut down lanes of southbound Highway 99 near Mack Road Monday afternoon, triggering a SigAlert while emergency crews responded. CHP says the crash involved a vehicle striking the center divider. Several lanes were temporarily closed, causing delays in the area before the roadway was cleared and the SigAlert canceled just before 1 p.m. Authorities have not released additional details about injuries.
Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating after a man in his 40s was found with a gunshot wound to the chest along the 7100 block of Watt Avenue. The victim was transported to a local hospital and is listed in stable condition. Deputies say they are still working to locate the exact crime scene and are asking anyone with information to contact the Sheriff’s Office.
Sacramento Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting in the 3100 block of Northstead Drive. Police say all officers are uninjured and the suspect was transported to a local hospital. The investigation remains ongoing.
In City Watch, Sacramento County is recognizing March as National Social Work Month, highlighting the work of social workers who support children, families, and vulnerable residents across the region.
Weather for Wednesday: sunny skies with a high near 78 degrees. Wednesday night will be mostly clear with a low around 49.
Events happening around Sacramento include Mindfulness in the Outdoors at Peak Adventures on the Sacramento State campus and the 5Rhythms Wednesday Waves dance class at CLARA, the E. Claire Raley Studios for the Performing Arts.
