Top local headlines
1) New scrutiny on Fremont police K-9 incident and accidental shooting
A new report adds detail to the Feb. 14 incident in Fremont in which a police sergeant was bitten by a police dog during a fast-moving burglary arrest operation, followed by an unintentional gun discharge that struck a suspect. City officials identified the sergeant as the department’s K-9 unit supervisor and said the department is conducting a post-incident review that includes use-of-force, canine deployment, and training considerations.
Police have said the suspects were tied to residential burglaries and that the group fled after their vehicle was stopped, sending officers in multiple directions on foot. The investigation remains ongoing, and the administrative process is continuing under standard protocols following an officer-involved shooting.
2) Families turned out for an East Bay camp & school fair in Fremont
Families looking ahead to spring break and summer options had a local stop this weekend, with an indoor camp-and-school fair held at a Fremont middle school campus. Organizers promoted it as a one-stop event to compare programs, activities, and enrichment options, with free admission and parking.
Even if you missed it, the turnout is a reminder that sign-ups for many summer programs start early, and in-person fairs can help parents quickly narrow down choices.
3) Coyote Hills hosted an animal tracks ‘quest’ for all ages
For a quieter local option, a drop-in nature program at Coyote Hills Regional Park invited visitors to look for animal tracks and signs of wildlife. The program is geared toward families and curious hikers, with the park noting that weekend access can get busy during peak hours.
