Here are the top three stories today in Dallas:

1. An early Sunday morning shooting at XTC Cabaret in Dallas has left a security guard injured. According to the Dallas Police Department, the security guard was involved in an argument with the suspect's group and escorted them off XTC Cabaret property. The suspect's group shot at the security guard at the end of his shift. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
2. Pedestrian safety is the focus of recent Deep Ellum 10:00 p.m. road closures, according to the Dallas Police Department and the Deep Ellum Foundation. The yearly summer closures are earlier than usual due to recent violent incidents that occurred in the area. Deep Ellum's business owners told WFAA they are appreciative of the increased police presence in the area. (WFAA.com)
3. Stede Bonnet: A F***ing Pirate Musical gets its world premiere at Theatre Three in Uptown Dallas. The exciting musical will be playing until May 1 and tells the true story of the Gentleman Pirate.
