Here are the top three stories in Dallas today:

1. One man is dead and another was injured after a weekend shootout in Dallas. An alleged altercation at 3508 Rio Grande led to shots being fired, which landed Jamien Olivares, 31, and Isidro Arzola, 34, in the hospital. Olivares later succumbed to his injuries, according to officials. A Grand Jury will determine if charges will be filed. (CBS Dallas / Fort Worth)
2. Ten Dallas County students have received full four-year college scholarships to Southern Methodist University, which includes all tuition and fees. SMU awards the Dallas County Mustang Scholarship each year to local students who meet certain scholarship criteria. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
3. North Texas Food Bank has partnered with DoorDash to ensure that seniors in need are getting hot meals at home. Project DASH will deliver food boxes to seniors in the community. These boxes of food can be a "lifeline" for homebound individuals with limited income and mobility. (Patch)
