Travel chaos, child witnesses shooting, cold blast

In north Georgia, a 9-year-old hid in a closet as a man shot and killed a 50-year-old woman before turning the gun on himself in a home in Hall County. Meanwhile, at the nation’s busiest airport, Hartsfield‑Jackson Atlanta International Airport, a continuing federal shutdown has left dozens of air-traffic controllers and TSA agents working without pay, triggering severe delays and rippling effects on travel and food-assistance services.
