Texas: An Army Black Hawk helicopter has crashed into a field on the campus of Texas A&M University during a field training exercise, killing one person and injuring four others aboard.
The Army UH-60 helicopter crashed Monday near the Corps of Cadets field on the school's College Station campus, about 100 miles northwest of Houston.
