Preliminary report lists what might have caused Rush Fire at Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
SUMMARY: The brush fire at the Wichita Mountains, which started last week, has burned nearly 12,500 acres and is currently over 75% contained, though it is still active with minimal flames. Officials believe a heavy piece of machinery used for vegetation reduction may have sparked the fire. Over 200 firefighters remain on-site to combat the blaze and monitor hotspots. Sky 5 pilot Chase Rutledge was the first to aerially survey the area last Friday. The situation is being closely monitored to ensure the safety of residents and prevent further spread.

Two charged in 2012 Pittsburg Co. homicide investigation
SUMMARY: Two suspects, Marais Ballard and Billy Thomas, were arrested last week in connection with the murder of Barbara Durrant, a case that dates back to her suspicious disappearance in September 2012. Durrant, 54, was missing for months before her remains were discovered in Wilburton, Oklahoma, in 2020. The medical examiner determined she died from a gunshot wound. Following the arrests, Ballard was apprehended by U.S. Marshals in Louisiana, while Thomas was already in custody. The involved officers are currently on routine administrative leave.
