• Film details Golden Gate Bridge suicide barrier saga (marinij.com) — A Fair Oaks family's loss of their son Kyle Gamboa, a Waldorf School student from Fair Oaks, is central to a new documentary on the Golden Gate Bridge suicide barrier. Their years of advocacy helped push the $224 million net project forward, and early data show suicides at the bridge have dropped sharply since the barrier was completed, offering hope to other families. 
• Sacramento County deputies release video of deadly shooting on Interstate 80 near Citrus Heights (cbsnews.com) — A July domestic violence manhunt led Sacramento County deputies to the suspect's car on Fair Oaks Boulevard near Kenneth Avenue before a deadly confrontation on I-80 by Citrus Heights.
