Here are the top 3 stories today in Oklahoma City:

1. One Oklahoma City Police Department officer has been placed on leave following an officer-involved shooting last week. Officer Megan Gaither was on duty last Tuesday, Feb. 1, when she fired a single shot from her weapon during an attempted traffic stop. Nobody was injured during the incident, which marked the city's first officer-involved shooting of 2022. (KOKH FOX25)
2. Two people have been arrested following an investigation into a suspected child pornography case. 42-year-old David Clinton Holden and 43-year-old Traci Brianna Valair now face multiple charges thanks to a tip received by Oklahoma City detectives in November that prompted the investigation. Both suspects were arrested on Feb. 7 in the 1100 block of Southeast 44th Street. (KFOR Oklahoma City)
3. Local artist Jabee Williams has announced plans to open a pizza restaurant in Oklahoma City. The hip-hop artist says he hopes that Eastside Pizza House will help revive the city's northeast side.
