High-speed rail could drive billions to Dallas. Will it happen? ... and more news
from The Dallas Morning News · host The Dallas Morning News
Shades of hope and doubt swirled around Dallas City Hall last week when city officials unveiled a study that fortified the long-discussed high-speed rail project as a billion-dollar economic engine for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. In other news, thousands of electric customers in North Texas were without power Sunday night as a round of severe storms pounded the region; three people were wounded Saturday in a shooting outside a Waffle House in Irving. Officers were dispatched about 6:15 a.m. to the 2000 block of East State Highway 356, near Fleming Avenue, where police said they found three people had been shot in the restaurant’s parking lot; and a Dallas County jury awarded $9.45 million to a man who suffered injuries at Hotel Crescent Court while walking his dog. The verdict came after a week-long trial in the 162nd Judicial District Court, where jurors heard evidence that the hotel failed to secure or warn guests about a dangerous condition in its courtyard that led to James Shelton McClure’s fall shortly after midnight on March 6, 2021.
