Tragedy on I-10, Sunny Days Ahead, Tucson Pride Shutters, UA Honors Alum - Tucson Local Pulse for January 29th
Published 2 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, January 29th. We start with breaking news from early Tuesday morning on Interstate 10 near Speedway Boulevard. An Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper pursued a white Toyota Camry driver for criminal speeding near milepost 252. The chase ended when the suspect crashed after hitting a bicyclist and pedestrian, then fired at the trooper, who returned fire. The suspect faces life-threatening injuries and is in custody at a local hospital. Sadly, the bicyclist died from injuries, while the pedestrian has non-life-threatening wounds. A trooper suffered minor injuries. The intersection fully reopened yesterday afternoon, but our thoughts go out to those affected as investigations continue.
Shifting to our weather, its partly cloudy and mild today with highs around 69 degrees and lows near 44. Light winds up to 15 miles per hour make it perfect for outdoor plans, though bundle up for cooler evenings. No rain expected, so events like the Salpointe Catholic High School Stevens Gallery exhibit Dreams, Deities and Archetypes on East Pima Street go off without a hitch. Looking ahead, expect sunnier skies Friday with 73 degrees.
In city updates, Tucson Pride, our oldest Pride organization after nearly 50 years, announced its shutdown yesterday, marking the end of a key cultural staple. Meanwhile, University of Arizona celebrates Eller College alum James Muzzy as 2026 Alumni of the Year for his philanthropy in education and arts, honored February 13th at the Student Union Memorial Center. No major city hall decisions today, but keep an eye on traffic around Davis-Monthan Air Force Base amid routine operations.
New business news stays quiet with no big openings or closings. Job market holds steady, real estate sees about 5 percent year-over-year price growth in areas like Tucson National Estates. Salpointe students shine with their gallery show, a win for local arts achievement.
For community vibes, join the UA alumni event soon. And a feel-good note: Border Patrol resolved a confrontation without further harm, per AZPM reports.
Upcoming, catch that gallery through the weekend. Stay safe, listeners. Thanks for tuning in and subscribe for more. This has been Tucson Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
