Dalton Robertson, 6, went missing after he wandered away from his home. He was found dead one day later after he drowned in a nearby pond.

One topic generated two stories in the Top 10 – the fatal shooting death of Botham Jean in his own apartment by off-duty Dallas police officer Amber Guyger.

Three stories in the Top 10 had no local connection to North Texas – an unfounded possibility of potentially lifting marijuana restrictions, blood pressure medication recall and violence in the popular resort town of Cancun.
