The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom:

Thomas Eric Duncan is still in critical condition and is now receiving an experimental drug called brincidofovir. The US Supreme Court Monday said it would not weigh-in on gay marriage appeals in five states.  That means same-sex weddings could soon take place in those states, including Oklahoma. There also may be implications in Texas.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
