00:00Microsoft is slowly resolving issues with many of its services, including Outlook email.
00:05In updates overnight, the company says it was encountering a problem with servers,
00:09preventing them from working properly.
00:11ABC's Peter Haralambus explained on the ABC News podcast Start Here.
00:17The latest update from them, or at least the most significant one,
00:20was them saying that a, quote,
00:22specific component that's responsible for processing server health
00:25appears to be causing the error.
00:27So basically, imagine a faulty thermostat is probably the easiest way to describe it.
00:32It's not necessarily like your car's overheating,
00:34but your car's computer system thinks it's overheating,
00:37and it's shutting itself down, and it's creating issues for you.
00:39Some Outlook users say they're starting to see some email messages this morning.
00:43The outage is also causing problems at City Hall.
00:46Mayor Corey O'Connor's office is having to adjust to how it communicates.
00:50News Radio KDK's Tamara Rush has that in the newsroom.
00:53Paul, one example, the mayor's daily schedule, which typically is emailed to the media,
00:58was sent by text message instead.
01:00The city's Microsoft systems are experiencing disruptions,
01:03raising questions about how much of city government is affected.
01:07We'll be looking for answers on whether essential services are impacted
01:10and whether residents could experience delays while the city works to restore its systems.
01:15In the newsroom, Tamara Rush News Radio, KDKA.
01:18A massive fire broke out late last night,
01:20destroying a contracting business in Washington County.
01:23Large flames were coming through the roof at Mond Industries on Route 88 in California Borough.
01:30Volunteer Fire Chief Tom Hartley told KDKA-TV.
01:33Matter of fact, the police even on the dispatch said,
01:36tell them to bring a lot of fire departments.
01:38And he was right.
01:39We used 15 tonight.
01:41The buildings totaled.
01:42They lost all their equipment.
01:43No one was inside when the flames broke out.
01:46Mond Industries is a general contractor.
01:48There's no word yet on the cause of the blaze.
01:51Day three of Jonathan Morris' homicide trial included emotional testimony
01:55from a McKeesport police officer wounded in the shootout
01:58that claimed the life of Officer Sean Slugansky.
02:01Chuck Thomas described a slow speed chase as he and Slugansky tried to detain Morris
02:06for an involuntary mental health commitment.
02:10KDKA-TV's Andy Sheehan was in the courtroom.
02:12With Officer Slugansky on foot, Thomas said he parked his patrol car when he says Morris shot him.
02:19Quote, I opened the door and put my foot on the ground, and the defendant shot me in the face.
02:25Thomas said he began firing back.
02:28Quote, bullets were coming into the car.
02:30I was shooting through the windshield.
02:32I was chewing glass.
02:33On cross-examination, Morris' defense attorney questioned Officer Thomas' actions
02:38and his account of a slow speed pursuit.
02:42Extra security and police officers today at West Mifflin High School.
02:46It's a familiar situation.
02:47A threat was made in an online video, but it is not considered credible.
02:51Police have identified a suspect.
02:53They're asking students and families to not share or repost that video.
02:58And Highland School District students, staff, and administration are staying home today.
03:02That's because Penn Power has a planned outage in Harrison Township starting right about now through 5 p.m.
03:08From the Zero Res Commercial Sports Desk, college basketball, Penn State blew a 13-point lead.
03:15They went on to beat Mercyhurst, 72-57 last night.
