🧙♂️ Dallas is about to get a magical Harry Potter makeover. "Harry Potter: The Exhibition" will arrive at Pepper Square starting October 24, bringing interactive galleries that showcase the beloved film franchise through all five senses. Visitors can explore more than 20 immersive areas featuring original costumes and props while participating in activities like brewing potions or crawling into the cupboard under the stairs. The exhibition, which has toured major U.S. cities and international locations, will begin ticket sales on September 10 with a special presale available one day earlier for waitlist members.
🔫 Man shot by officer still tried to flee while wounded. Bryan Cruz-Campos faces charges after allegedly shooting another man during a club parking lot fight over a woman. Off-duty Officer Keenen Anderson shot Cruz-Campos in the shoulder when he appeared to reach for his gun while fleeing. Even after being shot, Cruz-Campos continued running until he eventually dropped his weapon and got on the ground. Officers then used a stun gun multiple times when he resisted being handcuffed before both the suspect and his victim were taken to a hospital.
🎭 Lucy Liu headlines Dallas charity luncheon against sex trafficking. The award-winning actress will speak at New Friends New Life's "Stand For Her" event on September 12 at Omni Dallas Hotel. NBC 5's Laura Harris will moderate the conversation, which will explore Liu's career as both an actress and artist. Tickets go on sale in late August, with sponsorships already available.
