 A mail carrier has been shot and killed while working in Chicago. U.S. Postal is offering up to $250,000 for tips to solve the case in the death of Octavia Redmond. She had been delivering mail for more than 15 years. American Airlines and the union representing its flight attendants have a tentative deal on a new contract. Terms have not been disclosed, but the union previously had rejected an offer that included 18% upfront pay raises. Union President Julie Hedrick says the deal will put billions of dollars into compensation for the airline's 28,000 flight attendants.
