Overnight Safeway Shooting, City Council Workshop, and Weekend Events Shape Morgan Hill’s Friday

Police Activity Closes Safeway on Dunne Avenue

An overnight police incident at the Safeway on Dunne Avenue led to the store closing Friday as an investigation continues. Officers responded just after midnight to reports of a disturbance inside the store. During the encounter, a man suspected of assault was shot by police after what authorities described as actions that posed a threat.

Two people were taken to the hospital, including the suspect. The store remained closed through Friday afternoon while detectives processed the scene. Officials have said more information will be released once the investigation progresses.

City Council Kicks Off Goal-Setting Workshops

Morgan Hill’s City Council begins a two-day goal-setting workshop today, with meetings scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The sessions are designed to set priorities for the year ahead, including housing, public safety, infrastructure, and community services.

Workshops like this typically help guide budget decisions and policy direction. Residents are encouraged to follow along, as the discussions often shape what projects move forward in the coming months.

Volunteer Opportunities and Community Events This Weekend

Looking beyond City Hall, Morgan Hill has several community-focused activities lined up this weekend. Volunteer efforts supporting local parks and trails are scheduled for Saturday, offering residents a chance to give back while enjoying the outdoors.

The city is also continuing seasonal programming sign-ups, including youth activities and recreation classes, as planning ramps up for spring. While the Safeway closure has drawn attention, many routine city services and events are moving forward as planned.
