Sheriff: Copter that crashed in New Mexico was shot down
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A sheriff's department helicopter that crash-landed during a burglary investigation was brought down by gunfire, authorities said.
Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White said authorities have no suspects but were working with the FBI. Investigators concluded the bullet struck a control pedal, he said.
Both the civilian pilot and the deputy who were on board when the helicopter went down early Saturday survived with shrapnel wounds. Pilot Chris Holland suffered a leg injury and is being treated at University of New Mexico Hospital. The nine-year veteran Deputy Ward Pfefferle, suffered minor injuries.
