Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, September 12, 2025.

Let’s start with the breaking news from overnight in southwest Tulsa, where police are investigating a shooting that left eight vehicles damaged near Parkview Terrace Apartments on Santa Fe. Officers on patrol heard gunfire and responded to find a crowd and up to a hundred shell casings scattered around. Witnesses saw several teenage boys firing guns. No injuries, but property damage is significant. The Crime Gun Unit is working to identify those involved and urges anyone with information to contact Tulsa Crime Stoppers. This kind of incident reminds us why the city’s new safety programs are so important.

That brings us to City Hall, where Tulsa leaders just unveiled the fiscal year annual report and new initiatives for downtown. Over the past year, $800 million in active projects have helped fuel road improvements and housing. The “Safer Together” initiative is boosting public safety and tackling homelessness. The mayor reported impressive progress: thousands of outreach contacts and services, hundreds of thousands of pounds of trash collected, with graffiti and biohazard cleanups on the rise. There’s a push to cut housing wait times from two hundred days down to just forty-five, aiming for a “functional zero” homelessness rate.

Downtown, we’re also seeing a big push to clean up the city. A fresh, $250,000 graffiti removal program has already scrubbed more than forty properties and identified another hundred needing attention. Crews are working closely with code enforcement and police, and the Downtown Tulsa Partnership is encouraging legal murals so creativity isn’t lost when illegal tagging is removed. Residents can report graffiti directly to help keep the city looking good and safe.

On the cultural front, today at Living Arts of Tulsa, two exhibitions, “State of the Union” by Valentin Esparza and “Dinkum Hokum” by Austin Gober, invite us to reflect and enjoy visual art through the afternoon. And don’t miss the Greek Street heritage sign ceremony at 2 p.m. on Guthrie Avenue. Tulsa is honoring its Greek American community, celebrating a century of history in the Riverview School area. The new city sign program for heritage districts aims to boost pride and visibility for neighborhoods and visitors alike.

Sports fans, Tulsa Hurricane Volleyball is on a roll, fresh off four straight wins. The team travels to Texas State Invitational tonight with a match at six p.m., hoping to extend their hot streak. Local high school athletics also reported strong performances this week, including Edison Prep’s soccer team advancing in regional play.

For today’s weather, we’re in for sunny skies with afternoon highs in the mid-eighties. Breezes from the south might pick up, so outdoor events like Food Truck Friday at Guthrie Green should be comfortable. Looking ahead, mild evenings make it perfect for those weekend porch gatherings or concerts at River Parks.

In local business, we heard about new shops opening in Cherry Street and Oil Capital Innovation District, while one longtime bookstore off Peoria is closing after thirty years, citing rising rents. Job market numbers from the Chamber show steady hiring, with about 500 job postings citywide, strongest in healthcare, logistics, and technology.

Let’s pause for a feel-good moment. Yesterday at City Hall, Tulsa marked its fiftieth naturalization ceremony, welcoming twenty new citizens from fourteen countries. Mayor Monroe Nichols addressed the group, emphasizing the value of community and civic participation. New citizens also received voting resources and info on connecting with city services.
