I am the last person who wanted to have to turn people away. But it got to the point where it became a safety issue for those fans that were caught out on the interstate. The names of the victims were not immediately available, pending notification of relatives. The cause of the crash is not yet known. Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration were traveling to the scene.
Witnesses report watching the plane take off from the airport, and then dive into a nearby field.
The field is near some homes, but the aircraft did not come close to hitting anyone, Jennings said. Sheriff Dan Huesman said Friday the two boys were alone in the residence when the shooting occurred. Detectives are continuing to interview friends and relatives of the boys to better determine what happened, Huesman said. Inmates at the Floyd County jail are complaining about an infestation of head lice. An inmate alleges that the jail staff recently permitted a prisoner with head lice into the jail population, and the infestation quickly spread.
