Here are the top three stories today in Dallas:

1. Earlier this week Dallas Superintendent Michael Hinojosa told his fellow superintendents on a call that he plans to leave his post. He will leave the district before the end of the year, while trustees find a successor for him. Hinojosa has not yet said publicly what his next plans are, though there are discussions of Seeking public office. (The Dallas Morning News)
2. A man has died after a shooting at the 8100 block of Barclay Street on Wednesday morning. At about 11:00 AM, officers arrived at the scene where they found a man who had been shot multiple times. The police are investigating the incident and have not found a suspect yet. (CBS Dallas / Fort Worth)
3. Dallas police are currently searching for a woman who is accused of sexually assaulting a child. They haven't released too many details only that the assault happened on New Year's Day at the 7800 block of Campbell Road in front of Haggar Elementary School.
