WACO, Texas (AP) — Investigators are racking up lots of overtime in Waco, Texas, at the scene of Sunday's bloody biker gang fight that left nine dead and 18 wounded.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Japanese auto supplier has agreed to declare 33.8 million air bags defective. The announcement by the Transportation Department doubles the number of cars and trucks included in what is now the largest auto recall in U.S. history. The chemical that inflates the Takata air bags can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal inflator and sending shrapnel into the passenger compartment. The defect is linked to six deaths and more than 100 injuries worldwide.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Call it a six-hour stopover for the Norwegian Cruise Line ship Norwegian Dawn. That's how long it was stuck on a reef as it was leaving Bermuda for a trip back to Boston.

Inspectors will have to check for damage before the vessel heads back to Boston.
SIMPANG TIGA, Indonesia (AP) — Authorities in Indonesia say fishermen have rescued more than 430 migrants who were stranded at sea.

Some of the migrants, escaping persecution in Myanmar and poverty in Bangladesh, are suffering from starvation.
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — California farmers in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta are proposing voluntarily cutting their water use to avoid even harsher restrictions later this summer as the state's record drought continues.
