OKLAHOMA (TUC) — Y'all, if jalapeños are your thing, you might want to keep reading.

The FDA says the peppers were distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors, and the investigation is still ongoing.

According to what's been reported, at least 345 people across 27 states have gotten sick from the Salmonella strain linked to these jalapeños.

TUTTLE, OKLA. (TUC) — For those of y'all who live in Tuttle, this one is for you.

OUTER SPACE, MILKY WAY (TUC) — Y'all, you'd really think that after spending billions of dollars exploring outer space, we would've figured out a way to stop leaving our junk floating around up there. But apparently, that's one problem we still haven't quite mastered. Then again, we still can't get people to return their shopping carts, so maybe we shouldn't be all that surprised that we're leaving rocket parts floating around in space too.

Usually, these abandoned rocket stages are guided back toward Earth, where they end up burning in the atmosphere. But this one reportedly didn't have enough fuel left to make the trip back home. So instead, it spent about 18 months drifting around space, kind of like a Walmart shopping cart in a windy parking lot, before eventually crashing into the moon.

ENID, OKLA. (TUC) — A large police presence surrounded an Enid hospital Monday night after officers responded to two separate reports of a man who was believed to have a gun.

Authorities say he was then asked to leave, and as he was leaving, he allegedly told a security guard that he had a gun. Police then searched the hospital but did not locate the man or find a gun.

CLEVELAND COUNTY, OKLA. (TUC) — Apparently, there's a caiman running loose somewhere in Cleveland County, so whoever decided to roll the dice in Jumanji, your turn is over now so please do us a favor and put the game away. We kid.

But in all seriousness folks, if you live in the vicinity of Sunnylane Estates, near South Sunnylane Road and East Indian Hills Road, keep an eye out and be especially mindful of your pets until this little escapee is found.

MCLOUD, OKLA. (TUC) — What started as a normal day of kayaking on the North Canadian River took a tragic turn on Saturday.

Two sisters, who were simply just trying to enjoy the sunny weather and a day on the water kayaking, never imagined what they were about to find.

ANADARKO — If you've found yourself in a situation where something just doesn't feel right after buying a vehicle, you're not alone. We've become aware of multiple situations in Anadarko where people have alleged they were scammed during private vehicle and property sales.

We wanted to share this publicly because, from what we've seen, a lot of people thought they were the only ones going through this. But as more people have reached out to us, it's become clear that others have had similar experiences too.

EDMOND — Hello? The future of education is calling, and Oklahoma just picked up the phone. We are genuinely curious about how y’all are going to feel about this one.

In just a few weeks, a private school where the learning is essentially managed by AI is set to open its doors in Edmond, with plans of another location opening up in Tulsa. The mission behind it is to help raise human intelligence by using artificial intelligence. So, in other words, AI will be doing the instruction.

ANADARKO — Y’all, we just wanted to give everyone a quick update regarding the concerns many of you have brought to our attention. We haven’t forgotten about it. In fact, we’ve spent the past week researching, requesting records, reviewing documents, and verifying information.

That’s why we haven’t published anything yet. Y’all know us by now. We’d rather take the time to gather all the facts than rush something out with half-assed information. Especially with allegations this serious.
