Joyful tears for Dirk and the reason why 911 operators are putting us on hold.

Dirk Scored His 30,000th Point. Only five others have hit that number in NBA history; Nowitzki is the third to score every point with one team. And if that second-quarter moment didn’t make you tear up, the shot of Holger crying probably did.

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly Visited Dallas. He was here to meet with senior Homeland Security leaders, and no, he’s not backing away from that thing about taking undocumented kids away from their family at the border.

Toddler Found, Search Continues for Father at Denton Creek. Boaters came across Matthew Meinert’s abandoned fishing boat Monday evening, and the father’s 2-year-old son was found walking through the brush by himself early Tuesday morning. Trophy Club police will resume their search for Meinert today.

The Heck, T-Mobile? If you’ve called 911 in Dallas since November, there’s a good chance you were put on hold. The reason for that: Apparently, when people dial the emergency number using T-Mobile cell phones, the phones dial multiple times. If getting flooded by “ghost calls” weren’t bad enough, operators must return every hang-up call, making the wait time to get through even worse. WFAA has been reporting on this issue for a month and so far, no fix.
