Shooting at Delta facility

atlanta —  

Delta Air Lines officials say there has been a shooting near the airline’s chief maintenance operations center in Atlanta.

Clayton County police say one woman is dead following an incident at an address on Aviation Boulevard, where Delta has a facility, but they would not confirm whether it was the same location.

In a statement to The Associated Press, Delta says no Delta employees were injured in Monday’s shooting near a security gate to the Delta TechOps facility.

The facility is down the road from the main entrance to Delta’s headquarters. The airline said the shooting appeared to be related to a domestic dispute and referred questions to police.

Delta’s technical operations division provides maintenance and engineering support services for Delta’s fleet of aircraft along with customer aircraft, engines and components.

  • Leaving ‘No Child’ law behind: Obama lets 10 states flee

    It could be the beginning of the end for No Child Left Behind.
    The goal was lofty: Get all children up to par in math and reading by 2014. But the nation isn’t getting there, and now some states are getting out.
    In a sign of what’s to come, President Barack Obama on Thursday freed 10 states from some of the landmark law’s toughest requirements. Those states, which had to commit to their own, federally approved plans, will now be free, for example, to judge students with methods other than test scores. They also will be able to factor in subjects beyond reading and math.
    “We can combine greater freedom with greater accountability,” Obama said from the White House. Plenty more states are bound to take him up on the offer.

  • No cigar: Economic embargo on Cuba turns 50

    When it started, American teenagers were doing "The Twist." The United States had yet to put a man into orbit around the Earth. And a first-class U.S. postage stamp cost 4 cents.

    The world is much changed since the early days of 1962, but one thing has remained constant: The U.S. economic embargo on communist-run Cuba, a near-total trade ban that turned 50 on Tuesday.
