Mail Gets Through With Police Escort

ATLANTA —
A mail carrier resumed his rounds with a police escort Wednesday after nearly being caught last week in a drug-related shootout that caused the Postal Service to suspend deliveries in the neighborhood.

The Post Office had suspended service after the shootout Saturday, but deliveries were resumed after postal authorities conferred with city officials.
