Here are the top stories in Tulsa today:

1. In June, the show, "Some Girls," will be coming to Tulsa PAC. "Some Girl(s)" is from Neil LaBute. According to Broadway World, "This outrageously funny and deadly serious portrait of the artist as a young seducer casts a truthful, hilarious light on a typical young American male as he wanders through the heart of darkness that is himself." The show will run from June 1-11. (Broadway World)
2. The summer meal program has been launched at Owasso Public Schools. Anyone under the age of 18 can get a free meal at Ator Elementary, Mills Elementary and the Owasso High School East Campus. Children do not have to be enrolled in Owasso Public Schools to participate in the program, and no application or registration is required. All locations are open Monday through Friday, 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. for breakfast and 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for lunch. For more information contact the Owasso Child Nutrition office at 918-272-8034 or send an email to ram.meals@owassops.org. (news9.com KWTV)
3. A teen sustained a gunshot at a vacation home near East 13th Street and South Harvard Avenue Monday afternoon. Reportedly, three teens were together when the gun accidentally went off. According to KOKI Fox 23, "Tulsa Police Department confirmed that the bullet went through the mouth of the teen and into his head. Tulsa police say the victim is 15 years old and is currently stable, but in critical condition and in surgery. The other two teens were questioned by authorities. The investigation is ongoing."
