1. Tulsa County deputies are investigating after one person was stabbed outside of a bar near 6th Street and South Peoria Avenue. Officials say the incident occurred at the Bramble Breakfast & Bar on Tuesday, resulting in the temporary closure of a nearby intersection. A deputy close to the scene was able to disarm the attacker and a doctor who happened to be walking by tended to the victim. (News On 6)
2. City of Tulsa officials have announced a renewed commitment to the future of the city's municipal golf courses. In a statement released Monday, officials said that they are considering a host of improvement projects including repairs to bunkers, cart paths, sodding of turf, pump station renovations, and more. Citizens who wish to take part in a grassroots fundraising effort can make a tax-deductible donation to the Tulsa Community Foundations online. (Press Release Desk)
