Shawnee Public Schools superintendent being investigated by OSDE
SUMMARY: The Shawnee Public Schools superintendent, Dr. Aaron Pulled, is under investigation by the Oklahoma State Department of Education for allegations dating back to the early 2000s. He was placed on administrative leave in August, though court records show no criminal charges against him. During a recent Board of Education meeting, members expressed concern over the allegations while emphasizing the need to provide due process. Dr. Pulled has filed for a temporary restraining order to prevent possible emergency suspension of his teaching license. The investigation continues, and other educators have voiced opposition to suspensions without formal charges.

Growing concern after more shootings in Bricktown
SUMMARY: Police are investigating the troubling rise in gun violence in Bricktown, where multiple shootings since August have left several injured, including an alarming incident involving a 14-year-old with a handgun. In one night, five people were shot, with two firearms recovered and only one arrest made. Oklahoma City Police Chief Ron Basi plans to enhance safety measures by adding ten officers specifically to enforce curfews for minors, which was established last March. Officials aim to ensure Bricktown remains a safe entertainment district for families amidst concerns about youth involvement in gun-related incidents.

Man arrested on terror plot was still working toward special immigration visa
SUMMARY: Nasir Ahmad Tahiti arrived in the U.S. in 2021 with a Special Immigration Visa (SIV) after the U.S. military withdrew from Afghanistan. This visa is designated for specific Afghans who assisted U.S. missions, requiring proof of Afghan identity and employment with NATO-led programs like Resolute Support or ISAF for at least 12 months. Despite being on SIV status, documents indicate he was also on parole, which raises questions, as both statuses typically do not coexist. The Afghan Legal Network noted that many individuals seeking SIVs are supporters of the United States, highlighting the complexities of their immigration process.
