Sacramento police activity once again,I80/yolo causeway closed
sacramento is a real mess this morning,seems some guy went to an autobody shop,or repair shop in west sacramento,shot at employees,stole a car ( or truck,thats still not clear at this time)the "bad guy" fled out onto interstate 80 westbound towards Davis and crashed,then seems to have jumped from the causeway down on to the wildlife area or into the water,he is said to be armed and dangerous,has allready fired on officers.they have several helicopters in the air ( im not hearing any traffic on my scanner darn it) but its pretty unusual for this causeway to be closed in both directions....this is a flood plain,,and there are not many roads to bypass the area.there are roads...but they are miles out of the way...the causeway is for heavy rain/flooding on the sacramento river..rather than doing damage to the leevees they will open the floor wiers and the water will flow out into the "bypass"...i know yall prolly dont care..but if ou look on google earth in the area from west sacramento up to I5...well I80,to I5..you will see where the "wiers" are...and there are more up father towards where the highway from yuba city crosses the river to willows...goodness im a dork...
