A UH-1N Huey ‘White Top’ dignitary support helicopter from the 1st Helicopter Squadron based at Joint Base Andrew in Washington, D.C. was shot at on Monday in nearby Virginia. According to the Air Force, a crewman was injured, and the helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing at Manassas Regional Airport, Virginia.
McClatchy reported that “the injured crew member, who was not identified, was treated at a hospital and released,” adding that the Air Force stated that – “Initial findings are that the helicopter was struck by a bullet resulting in a minor injury to an aircrew member and damage to the aircraft.”
According to the Air Force, the helicopter was flying about 1,000 feet off the ground, about 10 miles northwest of Manassas Regional Airport when it was shot at.
This incident is particularly significant since Joint Base Andrews is home to Air Force helicopter and jet fighter squadrons, as well as the presidential aircraft – Air Force One. McClatchy notes that the 1st Helicopter Squadron carries out “local airlift operations for senior military and civilian leaders, high-ranking dignitaries, distinguished visitors, Defense Support of Civil Authorities, and emergency medical evacuation.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) quickly “dispatched Special Agents and its Evidence Response Team from Washington, D.C. to the Manassas Airport,” reported McClatchy, adding that the FBI stated:
The FBI Washington Field Office is working jointly with our law enforcement partners, including the Air Force Office of Special Investigations [OSI], to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The FBI also asked that “anyone near this area at the time of the incident who may have information please call the FBI at 202-278-2000.”
Hopefully, the FBI and OSI can quickly locate and arrest the criminal, or criminals, who did this and bring them to swift justice.

Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
Lets start playing catch and release with these traitor liberals. Lets catch them and release them at 30,000 feet.
How about let’s REALLY start applying the rule of law and after giving them DUE PROCESS, something they deny conservatives. THEN punish them to the maximum extent of the law.
Sedition, treason, and domestic terrorism MUST be taken seriously by our leaders and our courts. If not, we’re headed for a civil war and a breakdon of the Republic.
You see, we conservatives who believe in the Constitution and the Bible don’t believe in ILLEGAL vigilante action. Now if the justice system REFUSES to act, it’s a different matter.
“Sedition, treason, and domestic terrorism MUST be taken seriously by our leaders and our courts.”
Someone should whisper that to AG Barr so as not to embarrass him.
do you really hate this country so much or are you just ignorant…
Where did you pick up on ‘hate this country’ from CS? I heard that he was agreeing.
I would ask you to explain your irrational statement. But that is not possible. Maybe you just misunderstood what was said. Otherwise, Matthew 12;36 applies.
Waiting for him to indict Hillary, Comey, Brennnan, Clapper, Strzok, and Obama. Will we see justice???? Not likely. Pete Sessins was afraid to move against anyone. Barr probably is no different.
Love the plan!
…leftists.
another attempt on president trump life, nancy peloski slow down you will never suceed
Well, until we stop the communist terrorist in our country it will continue and get much worse! Antifa, blm, black panthers (new and old), naacp, all soros groups, ALL MOOSLIME GROUPS, and the dnc are terrorist! They should be designated by congress as such, hunted down and put out of business!
Or, as the republican politicians normally do, start sucking their thumbs while holding their blankies and crying for their mommies!
I really don’t know who is worse!!!!!
I too would like to see many of the Republican politicians do more but singling them out when most all of the democrats are encouraging the bad behavior is counterproductive.
…e/GOP RINO’s are just as bad.
oh, you mean the CO-CONSPIRATORS with the radical democrats?
Look at the voting record of McConnell, Cornyn, Collins, Mrkowski etc. Now tell me that they are our defenders, on our side????? The name RINO says it all. They deserve NO DEFENSE. In fact they are worse than Democrats.
…and RICO laws apply here!
Someone should whisper that to AG Barr so as not to embarrass him.
And one wonders why we don’t shoot back. Erase all BLM and Antifas.
Putting down insurrection, sedition and treason is for the US Government to handle. Sadly, they ignore it.
well, here come the new gun control laws to disarm the people that DID NOT DO THE SHOOTING!
How about we file charges against the politicians family for not having brains?
…10 miles northwest of Manassas Regional Airport?
That area is “Bull Run” of Civil War fame!
Rednecks making moonshine are touchy!
Real conservatives don’t fire on government helicopters Just like real Christians don’t hate sinners, homosexuals pedophiles, or gun grabbers.
HOWEVER the time may come that we must defend ourselves. It will be specifically against real enemies and not just a non specific helicopter.
Insurrection is Treason, so bring back Hanging, Drawing and Quartering for Acts of Treason.
,,, YES, what about #1, H-R-C? how many years for crimes committed against humanity? and B K-linton in A-rkansas M-ena A-irport drug smuggling operation? and death of 2 teens near the Mena airport operations, Sue Coleman ????? Suicide had affair with C-linton while attorney general. “Suicide” with a gunshot wound to the back of her head. No autopsy, was pregnant, Jeff Rhodes Local detective, John Brown, reportedly solved the Richard Winters case and gave findings to the FBI which sat on them. Jordan Ketelson According to Brown, “We know who killed these kids. The reason this case has been stopped … is because it tracks to Bill Clinton being involved in the coverup”, Paula Grober 12/92 Car Accident speech interpreter for the deaf for Bill Clinton, killed in a car accident with no witnesses. Traveled extensively with C-linton from 1978 `til death, John Walker ????? Accident RTC investigator who fell from the balcony of the apartment that was also a getaway for Vince Foster. Vincent Foster 07/93 Suicide Allegedly shot in Ft. Marcy Park. Bullet not found, White House gun used stayed in hand. Initial witness said there was Counsel no gun, a close friend of C-linton’s. Alleged possible affair w/H-R-C involved in Inslaw CIA computer cover-up, tracked C-linton finances. Many irregularities in death and its investigation + many more suicides, what about Benghazi?

Democracy is being hijacked by the people. Corporate spending continues to shift power away from citizens. Politicians work harder to raise money during campaigns than to convince the public that their ideas are best for the country.
All of the looting, destruction etc., in Seattle, Portland, CGO etc., is all President Trumps fault. If you don’t believe me, just as Nancy PEElosi or Chuckie Boy Schumer or any other DIM-o-wit!
I guess there are some Virginians who should not be allowed to have guns. But then that area of the country is ultra leftist. Probably a Democrat.
This sounds like another lunatic stunt by BLM/Antifa. They’re hell-bent on starting a civil war.
Time to stop tolerating Antifa, BLM, NFAC and other insurrectionist organizations. They need to be classifies as enemy combatants, as they have already fairly brazenly classified themselves.
No doubt the FBI’s DC office will quickly solve this crime. Just look at how fast they solved the Seth Rich murder case.
Exposure is the key. we need to see their names and the organizations they belong to we need a station broadcast that has air time on every government supported station at prime time. Americans would have access to data that is suppressed with regular cable. also publish a list of websites that citizens could get reliable information. when people know the facts they can make decisions based on fact not media rhetoric. The president needs a message board from the citizens that is also monitored and compiled daily to see what America wants and supports.——–Grampa
