Even after Sacramento police tried to reassure you that midtown is safe for residents and visitors who frequents restaurants, bars, and other businesses, officers are increasing patrols in the area because a woman was shot after refusing to give up her purse to a robber. Police say the woman was at a house party on H Street Friday night when she stepped outside and a man demanded her purse. She is expected to survive, but this attempted robbery and shooting was only a day after police held a community meeting to discuss a recent increase in robberies and what residents can do to stay safe.
