1 Shot in Incident at Woodland Hills Mall
Article summarized by Google Bard:
On Tuesday, December 26th, at around 6:20 PM, a shooting occurred outside the north doors of Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Two people were involved in an argument that escalated, and one person shot the other before fleeing the scene. The victim is in critical condition.
Tulsa Police are investigating the incident and have not yet apprehended the suspect. They have assured the public that the shooting was an isolated incident and not an active shooter situation. People inside the mall were advised to exit through the southern doors, and the mall was evacuated and cleared by police and security.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with people running for cover and confusion about whether the shooter was still inside the mall. Some stores locked down, and employees helped people find shelter.
The investigation is ongoing, and no further information about the suspect or the motive for the shooting has been released.
Molly's Landing was severely damaged Nov. 24 in a fire that officials said claimed the life of an unidentified individual.
When Carla Gibson first landed a server job at Molly’s Landing, she thought it would just be a way to earn a little extra money.
“I already had two other jobs, at a Red Lobster and at a bar,” Gibson recalled. “I was kind of a workaholic back then. But Molly’s Landing was someplace special, and I realized that from the start.
“For one thing, it was a high-end kind of place — I got my first ever $100 tip working at Molly’s,” she said. “Working there was really a nice experience.”
Molly’s Landing, which has been an iconic restaurant along the Oklahoma stretch of Route 66 since it opened almost 40 years ago, was severely damaged Nov. 24 in a fire that officials said claimed the life of an individual. The victim’s name has not yet been released.
Gibson, who owns and operates Gibby C’s South in Your Mouth restaurant in Claremore, announced on her Facebook page that she is willing to hire some of the 22 employees of Molly’s Landing for her own recently opened restaurant.

CITY OF TULSA SAYS HOT WEATHER, POSSIBLE ALGAE BLOOM TO BLAME FOR DEAD FISH AT PARK
TULSA, Okla. - Several hundred fish died last weekend in the pond at Hunter Park, with the City of Tulsa blaming hot weather and a possible algae bloom.
Those conditions can cause the oxygen in the water to drop, suffocating the fish.
City workers with nets cleaned up the pond Monday, after the fish kill was reported.
A few dead fish remained Tuesday, along the bank.
Parks staff didn't find any other aquatic animals injured or killed, but the City said teams will check the pond for the next few weeks.
The state regularly stocks the pond with sunfish, catfish and bass, as part of a “Fishing at Home” campaign.
First up will be City Hall Steak & Cocktail. The restaurant will be at 123 E. Main St. in downtown Jenks, taking over a building that had once served as the town's city hall.
Elliot Nelson has to pause for a moment to figure out just how many restaurants he has opened in the past 19 years.
“I think it’s around 15 or 16,” Nelson said, during a conversation in the dining area of Jimmy’s Chophouse, the newest addition to the McNellie’s Group of which Nelson is the founder and CEO.
Named in honor of his father, Jimmy’s Chophouse is something of an homage to flavors and experiences from Tulsa’s culinary past, drawn from Nelson’s memories of visiting steakhouses such as Eddy’s and Jamil’s, the Italian Inn and the Celebrity Club.
The new restaurant is already earning high praise from diners, as well as getting one of the highest ratings of any new restaurant this year from the Tulsa World. But Nelson and the McNellie’s Group are not resting on laurels.
Three new restaurants are in the works and are projected to be open by the summer of 2024.
First up will be City Hall Steak & Cocktail, which is planned for a spring 2024 opening. The restaurant will be at

State Superintendent Ryan Walters staged a press conference Friday on the grounds of Tulsa Public Schools’ administration building about an incident he views as a violation of a local school board member’s religious freedom.
He vowed to make an issue of the matter when the school district’s accreditation is up for renewal next week by the Oklahoma State Board of Education.
“I want to thank E’Lena Ashley for her stand for religious freedom. There is no more fine example today that religious liberty is under assault than what’s happening here in Tulsa Public Schools,” Walters said over constant shouting from the large crowd that assembled for the 3 p.m. press conference. “You have a school board member who uses her freedom of expression to say a prayer, and what do you see? You see the radical left who want to shout her down.”
Friday’s press conference, which the Oklahoma State Department of Education announced on Thursday afternoon, appeared to draw an equal number of protesters and

Lego Store Set To Open In Tulsa's Woodland Hills Mall
TULSA, Okla. - A new store in Tulsa's Woodland Hills Mall aims to take adults back to their childhood and bring out creativity in kids.
The LEGO store will have a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 14 to celebrate its grand opening.
Store manager Tulasi Kimbrough said it is not your typical shopping experience. "We are all about play," she said. "Play with our associates and all of our guests, too, that come in."
Kimbrough said the old saying, 'look but don't touch' does not apply at the LEGO store. "It is not like all of our sets behind and in the cases cannot be touched," she added. "We want them to embrace the product, touch and feel it, and play with the product too."
Kimbrough said no builder is too young or too old to embrace their creativity.
"We have the demo table that they will be able to create little sea creatures and add to the set which is super fun because you can say you built something for the LEGO store. We have our Duplo area which is for our yo
