The crash of the AH-64 Apache helicopter happened at 2 p.m.
Central Time (2000 GMT).
"Tragically, both Guardsmen on board did not survive. Safety
crews are currently working the scene of the crash with local
authorities," Reeves said.
The incident comes on the heels of a Feb. 6 Marine helicopter
crash in a remote area outside of San Diego that killed five
Marines who had been on a training flight during a fierce winter
storm.
