Here are the top three stories in Chattanooga today:

1. A group of protestors gathered in Chattanooga on Sunday to protest underage attendance at local drag events. The Patriot Front Organization participated in the protest along Vance Road. The protest was focused on the Seed Theater's drag brunch. This is allegedly the second time that the Patriot Front Organization has made an appearance at the Seed Theater. The protestors were wearing masks. (WTVC)
2. A Chattanooga Valley nonprofit has finished in second place in a contest for a Land Rover Defender 130. Warrior Freedom Service Dogs will still be receiving $10,000 and the use of a Land Rover for six months. A Florida-based nonprofit ultimately won the contest. There were initially 800 non-profits in the contest. (The Chattanoogan)
3. The Chattanooga Police Department responded to a gunfight on Saturday. The incident occurred in the 2000 block of Cooley Street. The department blocked off the area and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office assisted in the investigation. Two people were injured during the gunfight. (WTVC)
