GOOD MORNING TO YOU. IT’S WEDNESDAY, MAY 31ST. I’M TEO TORRES. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE BIG STORIES WE’RE FOLLOWING. A FIRE BROKE OUT IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ON SOUTHLAND PARK DRIVE NEAR 43RD AVENUE. IT STARTED AROUND 2:00 THIS MORNING. VIDEO HERE FROM THE SACRAMENTO FIRE DEPARTMENT WHEN CREWS ARRIVED, THEY SAID THERE WAS A HEAVY FIRE COMING FROM A SECOND FLOOR BALCONY. NO ONE WAS HURT. RED CROSS WAS CALLED IN TO HELP THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE UNIT WHERE THAT FIRE BROKE OUT. NO WORD YET ON IF ANY OF THE OTHER UNITS WERE DAMAGED. WELL, THIS MORNING, SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES ARE CONTINUING TO LOOK FOR A MAN INVOLVED IN A WILD SHOOTING CHASE. AND CARJACKING. IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY EVENING IN NORTH HIGHLANDS. DEPUTIES TELL US THAT IT BEGAN WHEN A MAN DROVE UP TO A HOME AND OPENED FIRE. A PERSON IN THAT HOME THEN JUMPED INTO A CAR AND CHASE THE SHOOTER. THEY BOTH CRASHED AT THE SPEEDWAY GAS STATION AT MADISON AND HILLSDALE. A SHOOTER THEN JUMPED INTO A CAR THERE AND FORCED THE DRIVER TO TAKE HIM AWAY. AFTER A SHORT DISTANCE, HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND RAN OFF AND COVERED. CALIFORNIA SAYS IT PLANS TO PROVIDE HEALTH COVERAGE FOR UP TO 3 MILLION PEOPLE THAT ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR MEDI-CAL. IT’S BECAUSE OF THE END OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY FOR COVID. THAT CHANGE MEANS THAT MEDI-CAL RECIPIENTS HAVE TO GO BACK TO RENEWING COVERAGE EVERY YEAR TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY. AND ADVOCATES HAD RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION TO STAY IN THE PROGRAM. LET’S GET A CHECK ON OUR FORECAST NOW. HERE’S METEOROLOGIST TAMARA BERG. GOOD MORNING.
