BAFD converts an old building into their new logistics facility

ODOT is considering three different upgrade options to the stretch of Highway 75 from the Okmulgee County line, to 151st Street, and the meeting allowed citizens to share their concerns. The proposals are about improving safety and traffic flow. ODOT's TJ Gerlach tells KRMG the meeting was well attended. The upgrades would replace current diamond interchanges with x-ramps, which means drivers would get on and off of the highway using one-way frontage roads on each side of the highway.

A 20-year old man kidnapped his 17-year old girlfriend from a Tulsa party but died after he turned the gun on himself, according to Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton. When the man kidnapped his girlfriend, she attempted to escape, asking a bystander for help, but the man beat the Good Samaritan severely and drove away. Deputies say they received a call about an erratic driver near Inola, but the driver told his victim he would not stop. When deputies turned on their lights, the man shot at his girlfriend four times, but she was not hit. Reports say he then shot himself and the truck rolled several times. The name of the deceased suspect has not been released.
