Good morning, Lawton.

A Comanche County jury cleared a Lawton man of his role in the 2023 fentanyl death—he was acquitted at the end of the trial's second day.

Gas prices in Lawton and Wichita Falls remain stable and below state averages as many plan summer travel; in Lawton, regular gas costs about $2.62, while Wichita Falls sees rates around $2.65—both lower than prices reported in Tulsa and Dallas—helping local drivers manage trip costs.

A study by Veterans United Home Loans ranked Lawton 10th as a top place for veterans to live, citing high veteran per capita numbers and strong scores in financial well-being at three and community support at five—local benefits like the Lawton VA Clinic and proximity to Fort Sill contributed to the ranking.

Officials at the U.S. Army Center for Military History confirmed that the Fort Sill National Historic Landmark and Museum is on a list of proposed closures as part of a consolidation effort across the Army Museum Enterprise.

They said that if it closes, artifacts will be moved and historic buildings transferred to the local garrison—no final decision has been made and closures are set to begin at the end of fiscal year 2025.

3rd annual set free praise dance conference

This community event is to encourage and empower our youth and young adults to use their gift of dance to build their relationship with God and draw others to Him. We are also bridging the generational gap with our youth to mentor and share life experiences to help them become servant leaders. Friday night will be a night of praise and worship, with instruction on the importance of covering as ministers and how colors have important meaning. Saturday will be all-day workshops including dance technique, mime, and lyrical dance. Each dancer will have two dance workshops based on their training and experience.
