Dallas police were looking for a man who shot a woman about 9 p.m. Friday in her car on the north side of NorthPark Center.

The 43-year-old woman, whom police had not identified, was taken to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas with at least one gunshot wound. She was in stable condition.

She had been waiting in the parking lot for her teenage daughter who was seeing a movie when a man approached her running truck and pointed a gun at her.

The man chased her truck and shot her as she tried to escape.

The woman pulled up to a valet station to get help.

Police and mall security were still searching for the gunman late Friday. He is described as black, 5 feet 9 and possibly in his mid-20s. He was wearing a neon green shirt and bluejean shorts. Anyone with information may call police at 214-671-3584.

An unidentified man was transported to Parkland Memorial Hospital just before 6 p.m. Friday with a cut to his neck after being involved in an altercation with another man in front of the Lew Sterrett Justice Center, officials said.

Dallas police and Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the incident at a bus stop on Commerce Street, said Dallas Area Rapid Transit spokesman Morgan Lyons. Police are looking for the second man, who fled before authorities arrived on the scene.

Witnesses told DART officials that the injured man may have been fresh out of jail when he got into an argument with another man at the bus stop. Mr. Lyons said both men were armed with knives and that witnesses said the men didn't appear to know each other. Neither man had been on the bus.

Officials were still working late Friday to identify both men. The victim's condition was unknown late Friday, but Mr. Lyons said according to the last report he received, the man was in surgery and doctors were able to talk to him. The incident remains under investigation.

Two toddlers who nearly drowned were hospitalized Friday afternoon after being found in their grandmother's swimming pool in Richardson.

The grandmother brought the girls home from mosque services and began cleaning up the house, said Richardson police spokesman Kevin Perlich.

She did not know that the girls had gone into the backyard pool area until two of their uncles came in the back gate and saw them at 2:50 p.m. They performed CPR until paramedics arrived.

One girl was transported to Children's Medical Center Dallas. The other was taken to Medical City Hospital in Dallas.

At the hospital, the girls had a pulse but were breathing with ventilators, Sgt. Perlich said.
