Slain police officer mourned ... and more news

Many across Dallas mourned the loss of 46-year old police officer Darron Burks over the weekend as a friend, colleague and family member but also paid tribute to a man they said was selfless in the pursuit of helping others. Burks was killed in a southeast Oak Cliff shooting Thursday night.  Dallas police Chief Eddie García said Burks was “executed” in his marked patrol car; Also, Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a brief with the state Supreme Court on Friday supporting a group behind a trio of Dallas charter amendment propositions that several City Council members openly opposed. If approved, the Dallas Hero proposals would mandate the city hire nearly 1,000 officers, waive governmental immunity for city officials and tie the city manager’s evaluation to a community survey; the Abilene Christian football team’s bus crashed in Lubbock after their narrow overtime loss to Texas Tech Saturday night. One player, two coaches and the bus driver suffered minor injuries and were transported to University Medical Center; and GameStop wants to bring you back to the time when you were playing The Legend of Zelda or Donkey Kong Country 2. The Grapevine-based retailer is launching “GameStop Retro” at four sites in North Texas with old-school devices and games that can reach back more than 20 years, according to a post on its website. That includes locales in Dallas, Arlington, Euless and Allen.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
