Suspect Shot By Police at The Parks at Arlington. A man in his early 20s was shot and wounded by an off-duty police officer after allegedly stealing two pairs of sunglasses. Apparently, he pulled out what turned out to be a fake gun. Which doesn’t make much sense in that situation, but that is what the surveillance footage shows.
Man Celebrates 100th Birthday With Run At White Rock Lake. To celebrate Orville Rogers’ birthday, a group of family and friends ran a collective 100 miles, and the last mile together, from Mt. Vernon Estate to Orville’s nearby home. Don’t do this for my birthday. Fellas.
How About Them (Squints) Mavs? The team is still in last place. BUT! Over the last four games, they have blown out the Bucks, lost in overtime to the Celtics, beat the Grizzlies, and smoked the Thunder. LET’S GET IT.
Cowboys Release Darren McFadden and Mike Nugent. McFadden was let go so he could find some playing time with another squad, which he wasn’t getting with the Cowboys even though Zeke Elliott is suspended and the team is — and I apologize for using a technical term — kinda trash right now. Nugent was released because Dan Bailey is healthy enough to kick again and everyone had run out of good Ted Nugent jokes. I just looked it up. Speaking of the Cowboys …
Dak Prescott Answers His Critics. The Cowboys QB kind of went long on people thinking he has been exposed. Talking about what has become a bit of a nuclear issue around here, he said:
