First, today's weather: Partly cloudy throughout the day. High: 100 Low: 64. Here are the top stories in Sacramento today: Police were called to the 2400 block of Laguna Boulevard in Elk Grove after reports of a shooting. When they arrived at the scene they learned that a man had been taken to an area hospital with a gunshot wound. The man later died at the hospital as a result of his wounds. A second adult victim later arrived at an area hospital with a non-life threatening gunshot wound. Police are not releasing any information about that victim. An investigation is ongoing.

(KCRA3)Taking advantage of federal and state funding, the city now has 370 motel rooms on contract, providing shelter and stability to 470 people experiencing homelessness. Many of the people staying in these motels are families with children, and in some cases, people escaping from domestic violence. The stability a motel room offers can be especially important to school-age children, many of whom have been returning to in-person class this week. Motel rooms may not be a permanent solution, but for a lot of people experiencing homelessness, they can lead to long-term housing. (Sacramento City Express)A Grass Valley man remains in custody without the eligibility of bail and is now facing felony DUI charges after the Folsom resident he struck on Aug. 18 at a popular Folsom park did not survive. Police received a 911 call that a vehicle had struck a pole after it left the roadway and entered BT Collins Park. A male, later identified as Anthony Michael Espinosa, 31 of Grass Valley, then reportedly got on the phone and told the dispatcher he had struck a person with his vehicle. Espinosa remained on the scene until officers arrived. (Folsom Telegraph) Monday's events in Sacramento: Four Barrel will be at Swabbies on the River.
