Mother asks for help after baby hit with skate

MIDWEST CITY, Okla. -- Midwest City police are investigating an assault case involving a 1-year-old baby. She was hit in the head with a roller skate. Now her mother is hoping the public will help catch the person who drove away after the attack.

It may only look like SarahTubby's15-month-old daughter, Nevaeh, has a scratch on her head.

But Sunday, that was a bump half the size of her mom's fist.

"I screamed," Tubby remembers after the attack. "I didn't know what to do and immediately her head started to swell up. She wasn't crying.  She wasn't making any noise."

Tubby says the assault happened at a Skateland in Midwest City Sunday afternoon.

She says while at a friend's birthday party, a girl in another party fell down and blamed Tubby's 11-year-old daughter for pushing her.

Tubby says several adults in that other party came after her 11 year old.

New technique in OK pinpoints center for fewer side effects

MIDWEST CITY, Okla. -- Like lots of folks, Bob Rushing uses GPS to navigate his truck around town. And now Doctors are using similar technology to navigate the body. Dr. Christopher Bozarth at Optim Oncology in Midwest City is treating prostate cancer using the "Calypso System.”

Bozarth says it targets radiation more accurately than other therapies and reduces collateral damage.

"The difference with this therapy is the Calypso lets you localize on the gland and keep it in the center of the field. By using the Calypso System, we keep the radiation in and around the prostate," he said.

Beacons the size of a grain of rice are implanted in the prostate.

They emit radio waves, allowing clinicians to pinpoint the prostate. 

This is critical because the gland tends to shift when a patient is coughing, sneezing, even breathing.

Patient Bob Rushing said, "It allows that stuff to go right where they want it to go."

Teen accused of arson, murder faces trial as adult

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A metro teen accused of murder and arson will face trial as an adult. Tristan Owen allegedly started a fatal fire that killed his elderly neighbors last year. The judge's ruling all depends of what the jury does. 

If Owen is convicted of murder, he will be sentenced as an adult.

If he's acquitted of murder, but convicted of the lesser arson charge, he'd be eligible to be sentenced as a juvenile.

The fire that killed 86-year-old couple Boyd and Doris Haynes has caused lots of grief for two families, including the couple’s son, Terry.

"It's been absolutely horrible. It's affected all of us dramatically," Terry Haynes said.

Tristan Owen's family says having the 16-year-old locked up for the last seven months and maybe for the rest of his life has been painful as well.

"It's a terrible price we've had to pay," Wilma Owen said.

Lisa Ling visits local high school

OKLAHOMA CITY -- About 30 girls from Emerson High School sat in on an assembly Thursday at their school to welcome nationally-known journalist Lisa Ling. She shared her story of hard times in her own words.

"All of those things that we went through, not having money, or parents around, my dad was always working so that's why I was home with the TV on all the time, all of those things I think made me a lot stronger," Ling said.

Many in the crowd said they can relate.

"Knowing what she's been through and that she's done so many things in her life, well, it's helpful, you know? Knowing that someone like her can do stuff like that and she has the time to talk to us, it's helpful," senior Karina Hernandez said.
