🌱 3 Shot With Pellet Gun + Tulsa Family Helps Ukrainian Orphan

Hello, people of Tulsa! Helen Eckhard here with today's copy of the Tulsa Daily.

First, today's weather:

Winds subsiding and cooler. High: 53 Low: 37.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Tulsa:

1. The Tulsa Police Department is urging the public to be on the lookout after at least three people were shot with a pellet gun late Wednesday night. Investigators believe the attacks were random and that one or more of the incidents may have been recorded and posted to social media. Anyone with any information on any of these attacks is asked to call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at (918) 596-COPS. (KTUL)
2. A Tulsa family who hosted an orphan in 2014 and 2015 has helped orchestrate her safe evacuation from Ukraine. 22-year-old Svitlana Kovernyuk was rescued from her village by The North Group, a global intelligence and security firm, after three separate attempts. Alan and Jennifer Page, Kovernyuk's former host family, paid for the operation and have established a GoFundMe to help her hire an immigration attorney. (News On 6)
3. There are several new cats and dogs available for adoption at animal shelters throughout the Tulsa area. The pets looking for their forever homes include Huxley, an Australian Shepherd puppy at Rainbow Bridge Can Wait Animal Rescue, and Freddie Mercury, a gray domestic shorthair cat at Tulsa SPCA. For a full roundup of available pets, visit the Tulsa Patch. (Tulsa Patch)
