There Were Texas Guns In Las Vegas Shooter’s Arsenal. Though authorities haven’t revealed which of Stephen Paddock’s guns were from Texas, the fact that some came from here isn’t surprising considering the shooter lived in Mesquite as recently as 2010 and he had 49 firearms in his overall collection.

Haltom City Man Back Home After Horrific Vegas Trip. The Army Vet led police to the Mandalay Bay after Stephen Paddock started firing two rooms above his. As of yesterday, he still hadn’t eaten or slept in two days since watching the tragedy unfold.

Injured Couple Awarded $42 Million In Lawsuit Against John Eagle Collision Center. A bad repair job made the outcome of their car accident worse than it should have been. But this is ultimately a story about the evils of insurance—and a bigger deal should be made of that.

So…Russian Hackers Never Went After Dallas’ Election? Wow, I’m with Toni Pippins-Poole in not understanding what exactly the “21 occurrences” means, here. But…wait. Toni, why am I with you? You’re the elections administrator. Shouldn’t you be on the other side of the Understanding Fence?

Mark Cuban “Considering” Presidential Run in 2020. He’s been saying this for a couple years now, and news outlets love to run with it every time, but his wife’s still not on board.

Watch Out, Great Wolf Lodge. A new indoor waterpark is coming to Grand Prairie, giving us Dallasites a more convenient place in which to preview hell.
