SUMMARY: A former employee of a catering business in Atlanta, identified as Herita Benton, is in jail after holding the owner and staff at gunpoint. The incident occurred following her termination for missing a scheduled event. Owner Tim Morgan reported he had informed her to return her uniform and keys earlier that day, but Benton arrived later, armed with a pistol concealed in her clothing. She reportedly intended to harm the staff. After threatening the employees, she fled with Morgan’s phone but was arrested later that night. Benton faces charges of simple assault and theft by taking.

Tim Morgan, a self-made chef, said a disgruntled employee held himself and his employees at gunpoint after being terminated the day before for not showing up to an event she was scheduled to work. Morgan also said the woman stole his phone before she was caught and arrested.

SUMMARY: A technical glitch at American Airlines caused a nationwide ground stop on Christmas Eve, impacting many travelers as they headed to visit loved ones. The issue, which lasted about an hour, affected flights at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and across the country, coinciding with record-breaking holiday travel, with TSA expecting to screen 40 million passengers. Although the glitch was resolved quickly, some delays persisted, with approximately half of flights into and out of Atlanta experiencing holdups. Thankfully, there were no major long-term consequences, and most travel remained relatively smooth despite a few cancellations.

A temporary shutdown by American Airlines led to some delayed flights this morning at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
