 Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Thursday, December 11, 2025.

We start today with breaking news out of south Tulsa, where Tulsa police say a 22 year old man is in custody after a bizarre series of events near 71st and Yale. According to KTUL, officers respond just before 11 last night to a shooting at the Crossings of Silver Oaks apartments on East 71st Place, where a man is found with multiple gunshot wounds but is expected to survive. Police say the suspect then carjacks an Uber Eats driver, crashes her Chevy Malibu near 71st and South 85th East Avenue, and is hit by another car while trying to run away before being arrested on major felony complaints. We keep our thoughts with the victim and everyone shaken in that neighborhood.

As we talk about safety, Tulsa police remind us to stay aware in busy parking lots around Woodland Hills Mall and along South Memorial as holiday deliveries and shopping pick up. We keep an eye on our surroundings and report anything that feels off.

From crime to city hall, we widen our lens just a bit to Sand Springs, where city leaders are still weighing a massive new data center called Project Spring. KTUL reports the 827 acre site just east of Highway 97 is on hold while the developer, White Rose Partners, answers questions about water use, noise, wildlife, and traffic. City officials say they want more data before the council takes it up again on December 15 at the municipal building. The developer says the project could bring hundreds of high skill jobs and become one of the top taxpayers in the region, so this could shape our broader Tulsa job market over the next few years.

Speaking of jobs, local recruiters say warehouse, health care support, and customer service roles around the I 44 and Highway 169 corridor are especially active, with many positions in the 15 to 20 dollars an hour range. Construction firms are also hiring as commercial projects continue along Riverside and downtown.

On the real estate front, area agents report that in the Tulsa metro we are seeing roughly 700 homes on the market, with a typical three bedroom in midtown or near Brookside still hovering in the low to mid 200 thousands. Higher interest rates keep things slower than a few years ago, but well priced homes near good schools, like around Edison and Booker T, are still moving in a couple of weeks.

Weather wise, we step out to a cool, clear start across Tulsa. We are expecting a mild afternoon, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s and light south winds, a good day for errands along Peoria or a walk on Riverside Drive. Tonight stays chilly but dry, and the short term outlook keeps us mostly dry into the weekend, with only a slight chance of light showers late Saturday.

In community news, Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition volunteers recently team up with Tulsa Parks at Chandler Park, west of downtown near Highway 51, to remove more than 500 invasive redcedar trees. Tulsa Parks officials tell the County Commissioners the project reduces fire risk and protects water resources, and it is a reminder of how our neighbors quietly improve shared spaces.

Looking ahead, we have a full slate of events. Holiday lights continue to glow at Gathering Place and along Guthrie Green, and local venues on South Boston and in the Arts District are hosting live music tomorrow and Saturday night, from Red Dirt to jazz. Families can catch school winter concerts across Tulsa Public Schools and Union, with several choirs and bands recently bringing home top ratings at regional festivals.

On the sports front, local high school basketball is in full swing. Several Tulsa teams notch early season wins this week, with strong showings from Booker T Washington and Union on their home courts. TU basketball continues its non conference stretch at the Reynolds Center, giving us some evening action close to home.

We wrap up with a feel good story: neighbors and volunteers gather this week near 11th Street and Lewis to organize toy and coat drives, making sure kids across east and north Tulsa have something warm to wear and something fun to open this season. Food banks and shelters say donations from everyday Tulsans are making a real difference right now.
