Frustrated families grounded as Delta chaos continues, DOT launches investigation
Delta Air Lines passengers are voicing outrage over the growing chaos with the carrier that has yet to rebound its operations since the global tech outage. The Atlanta-based airline is in its sixth day of flight disruptions leaving ticketed passengers stranded at airports, following the CrowdStrike outage on Friday that impacted industries from banks to hospitals. "This is our fourth cancellation," one frustrated traveler, Sarah Lassig, told ABC News Bay Area station KGO-TV. "I just wish we had given up and stayed home," her husband, Nathan Lassig, added.
High school coach, 28, randomly shot and killed at bar while attending conference
A 28-year-old high school coach was “randomly shot and killed” standing on a rooftop bar while she was in town for a conference, police said. Ayden Burt, a 28-year-old high school coach from Jasper Independent School District in Texas, was visiting San Antonio for the Texas High School Coaches Association Conference when, just after midnight, she was randomly shot and killed while standing at a local rooftop bar on the 500 block of E.

Judge issues ruling to vacate Missouri man's murder conviction
A judge in St. Louis issued a written order Monday vacating the murder conviction of Christopher Dunn, who has served 33 years in a Missouri prison for a murder he has maintained he did not commit. The order follows a hearing two months ago during which Circuit Court Judge Jason Sengheiser heard evidence in favor of Dunn's exoneration, including findings from an evidentiary hearing four years ago in which the presiding judge declared that if Dunn were tried today given the current evidence, "reasonably, properly instructed jurors would find [Dunn] not guilty." "In conclusion, the only evidence inculpating Dunn has been recanted," court documents of Sengheiser's ruling stated. "The [St. Louis] Circuit Attorney [Gabe Gore] has made a clear and convincing showing of 'actual innocence' that undermines the basis of Dunn's convictions because in light of the new evidence, no juror, acting reasonably, would have voted to find Dunn guilty of these crimes beyond a reasonable doubt." Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey's office did not immediately return ABC News' request for comment, nor did the state prosecutor's office return ABC News' request for a statement, including when Dunn might be released from prison.
Delta issues apology to passengers after CrowdStrike outage along with bonus miles, reimbursements
Delta apologized for its widespread cancellations and delays over the last several days, issuing a new message Wednesday to customers affected by the fallout from the global IT outage last Friday. The airline also says it plans to issue 10,000 bonus miles and offers to reimburse "reasonable expenses." “Please accept our sincere apologies for the disruption to your recent travel plans caused by a vendor technology outage affecting airlines and companies worldwide,” the airline said. “Delta teams have been working tirelessly to restore our operation to get our customers safely to their final destinations. We understand that unexpected disruptions like this are difficult for everyone and do not reflect the operational reliability and experience you have come to know and expect from us.” Delta also said that if passengers incurred “any hotel, meal, or transportation expenses while in transit resulting from this flight disruption,” they may submit a claim to the airline for a reasonable expenses reimbursement.
