Three Injured in Dallas High-Rise Shooting

Three people, including a child, sustained gunshot injuries at a Dallas high-rise apartment Thursday. One victim emerged from the building holding his stomach and asking for help. Police swarmed the area but were unable to detain the shooter.

Young is from Highland Park, Texas, and pitched for the Rangers as a player. He also won a World Series as a player with the Royals.

His four-year contract as the Rangers’ GM was set to expire after this season.
