UPS and FedEx announced they have grounded their combined more than 50 McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo planes “out of an abundance of caution” after a crash in Louisville, Kentucky, that killed at least 14 people.

MD-11 aircrafts make up about 9% of the UPS airline fleet and about 4% of the FedEx fleet, according to both companies.

“We made this decision proactively at the recommendation of the aircraft manufacturer,” a UPS statement said late on Friday. “Nothing is more important to us than the safety of our employees and the communities we serve.”

Authorities are on a manhunt for a man who allegedly shot at U.S. Border Patrol agents during an immigration operation in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. On Saturday, Border Patrol agents were conducting immigration enforcement operations when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). “Today, U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, when an unknown male driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled the scene,” the department said in a statement on social media. “An unknown number of agitators also threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol’s vehicles. Chicago Police Department was called for assistance and cleared the scene.”
