The Tennessee National Guard says one of their Black Hawk helicopters crashed in Alabama, killing two crew members.

Brig. Gen. Warner Ross said Wednesday that two members of the Tennessee National Guard were killed during a flight-training mission. The helicopter crashed around 3 p.m. local time and caught fire. The Madison County sheriff’s office said there were no injuries to anyone on the ground when the helicopter crashed.
