A police pilot was killed and another left in critical condition when their helicopter clipped a building and crashed in Houston, the city's police force says.
The pilot and tactical flight officer were on a routine work call out when they crashed just before 2 a.m. , Acevedo said. Both were trapped in the"mangled wreckage" and later freed by the fire department and transferred to the Memorial Hermann Hospital, he added.Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, joined Acevedo at a second press conference. He told reporters"this is a sad morning.
"I want to ask the city of Houston to continue to lift up, number one, both families, but especially lift up the family of the police officer who has died this morning," Turner, also masked, said. Acevedo told reporters that police had responded to a later separate incident in the area where shots had been fired.
"The shots fired occurred after the aircraft went down, we don't have any information that it was shot at or that any hostile activity took place," he said, dismissing that the two incidents were connected.Houston police urged the public to avoid the area and said investigations would be conducted into the cause of the crash.Adela Suliman is a London-based writer and reporter for NBC News Digital.
