An investigation has begun into a mysterious shooting that occurred on Monday of a U.S. Air Force helicopter. An Air Force spokesperson said while flying a routine training mission over Middleburg, Virginia, the aircraft “took fire from the ground” reported ABC news. The chopper had to make an emergency landing. “Initial findings are that the helicopter was struck by a bullet resulting in a minor injury to an aircrew member and damage to the aircraft,” said the spokesperson.
Already planning to land at Manassas Regional Airport, the gunshot quickly turned the descent into an emergency landing. “The Airport received a call from Manassas Control Tower at 12:20 pm on Monday about a military helicopter inbound that had an on-board emergency and that paramedics would be arriving shortly,” said Pattie Prince, the communications manager for the city of Manassas.
The bullet was recovered from the airframe of the UH-1N Huey helicopter, which was estimated to be at an altitude of 1,000 feet when it was hit. One crew member did sustain a minor injury and has been treated and released from the hospital.
And FBI spokesperson said, “The FBI Washington Field Office (WFO) dispatched special agents and its Evidence Response Team to the Manassas Airport after receiving reports that a helicopter was shot at from the ground nearby.” No information has been released to indicate the findings of the investigation thus far. However, the FBI spokesperson added, “WFO is working jointly with our law enforcement partners, including the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.”
‘EXTENSIVE RECORD’: Philadelphia Police Shooting Suspect Arrested 12 TIMES on Prior Gun, Assault Charges
The man accused of opening fire on police officers in Philadelphia Wednesday night has an “extensive” criminal record; raising serious questions on why the suspect was free after at least a dozen arrests.
“The man accused of opening fire on Philadelphia police officers, wounding six and triggering an hourslong standoff that stretched into the night, has been arrested at least a dozen times since turning 18 — a rap sheet the city’s top cop described as an ‘extensive’ criminal history,” reports Fox News.
“With his hands in the air and a police light illuminating his every movement, alleged gunman Maurice Hill, 36, surrendered to authorities just after midnight Thursday, exiting the north Philadelphia neighborhood home he’d barricaded himself in,” adds Fox.
“Many of you have found out about his history. It’s very significant. In fact, he told me on the phone, he used the word ‘extensive,’ he had an extensive criminal history and that he knew the system. This is why he was making the outlandish demands he was making,” said Police Commissioner Richard Ross.
The Philadelphia shooter should never have been allowed to be on the streets. He had a long and very dangerous criminal record. Looked like he was having a good time after his capture, and after wounding so many police. Long sentence – must get much tougher on street crime!
