Three Idaho Army National Guard members were killed after their helicopter crashed near Boise on Tuesday night, officials said. The three pilots were participating in a routine training flight when their UH-60 Black Hawk crashed after 8 p.m. near Lucky Peak, the Idaho National Guard said in a statement.
"This is a tremendous loss to the Idaho National Guard and our community," said Major General Michael Garshak, adjutant general of Idaho and commander of the Idaho National Guard. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones as we work through this tragedy."
