An Arizona Department of Public Safety helicopter responding to a shootout between police and a suspect has crashed in an accident that killed the pilot and a trooper on board. The helicopter was assisting law enforcement officers Wednesday night as they exchanged gunfire with a suspect in a domestic violence incident. The gunfire lasted almost two hours before the suspect was wounded and taken into custody around the same time of the helicopter crash. The cause of the crash was not released. No one else was injured.
