A UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter with four crew members on board went down sometime after 5:49 p.m. Nov. 23 in the northeast portion on the Fort Hood Range in Texas.

The base said in a news release that after an extensive search, emergency crews located the scene of the incident and are reporting the four crew members had been fatally injured.
