1. The Rocklin PD received reports of a shooter at the Sunset Street Apartments at 3:40 a.m. on Wednesday. One victim with a gunshot wound was taken to the hospital. Police are saying there is no further threat to the community, but they are continuing to investigate. (ABC10)
2. Roseville City Council is set to vote on an 8% surcharge proposed by Roseville Electric. This surcharge would be in addition to an already-approved 3% increase that's scheduled to start in January. According to Erin Frye, a spokesperson for Roseville Electric Utility, this increase reflects a rapid increase the utility is seeing in energy market prices. The surcharge would be temporary, expiring at the end of 2024. (ABC10)
3. Ready for the most adorable Holiday Open House in Placer County? The Placer SPCA is opening its doors for the festivities on December 12 at the Placer SPCA Adoption and Education Center. You can take a tour, enjoy some snacks and even get your picture taken with Santa. I hope there are Santa hats for the furry residents. I love puppies in Santa hats! (Roseville Today)

From our sponsor:

Are you a Roseville resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market? Consider fine art. Masterworks is the award-winning platform helping 575,000+ invest in works by the same world-renowned artists that are coveted by ultra-wealthy collectors and major museums alike (think Picasso, Basquiat, and Banksy.) Masterworks splits these multi-million dollar works into shares, so you can invest without breaking the bank.

Contemporary art has outpaced the stock market by a whopping 131% over the last 26 years. Seven of Masterworks’ eight sold paintings gave their investors a +17.8% net returns*.
