Tulsa Tragedy, Protests, and Community Support - A Recap of Local News

  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for February 11, 2025. We're starting with some breaking news from the past weekend. A tragic shooting occurred at a Tulsa apartment complex near East 21st Street and South 117th East Avenue, leaving two teenagers dead and another two injured. Police are investigating the incident as an ambush attack, and a suspect is currently in custody[2][5].

    Moving on to city hall updates, hundreds of protesters gathered at Tulsa City Hall and staged walkouts amid political tensions. This comes as local officials face scrutiny over various policies, including immigration enforcement and education reforms[1][4].

    In business news, Lufthansa Technik is expanding its operations in Tulsa, which is expected to bring new job opportunities to the area. On the other hand, some local residents are raising concerns over rezoning impacts on infrastructure and drainage, particularly in Bixby[1].

    Weather-wise, today is expected to be quite chilly, with temperatures around 2 degrees Fahrenheit and a slight chance of snow. We're looking at a couple of snowy days in the next two weeks, so make sure to check the forecast regularly for updates[3].

    In community events, the People United Walkout and March took place recently, focusing on human rights. Additionally, a drive-thru testing clinic has reopened at St. Francis due to the rising flu cases in Tulsa[1][4].

    On the education front, candidates for the Tulsa Public Schools board shared their views on teacher support and opposing certain policies during a recent forum at McLain High School[4].

    In crime news, aside from the aforementioned shooting, police are seeking the public's help in identifying a red truck involved in a five-car hit and run case in Broken Arrow. Also, a former EMT has pleaded with the Tulsa Housing Authority for assistance[1][2].

    Finally, a feel-good story: the community is coming together to support a local church that suffered $20,000 in damages due to vandalism. The pastor is calling for help from the community to repair the damages[4].

    This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
