Here are the top 3 stories in Dallas today:

1. Two male suspects in Dallas are at large after robbing Taco Cabana on Friday night. The two male suspects entered the business and posed as customers. One of the suspects, armed with a handgun, demanded that an employee open the safe while the other suspect acted as lookout. Both suspects took money from the safe before fleeing the eatery. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
2. An 83-year-old Dallas woman has found an unexpected way to fight off boredom in the pandemic: going back to college. Barbara Ingram attended the University of Miami "60-something years ago" and is now taking online classes at Harvard to keep her mind engaged. (NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth)
3. Just days after Christmas, a West Dallas family lost their home in a fire. The family of five was leaving to visit their relatives when they received a call from their neighbor that their house was up in flames. The home is now unlivable and the family is staying at a hotel indefinitely, but father Billy Morris is just thankful that nobody was hurt. (FOX 4 Dallas)
