LEONARDTOWN, Md. (AP) —The victims of a Black Hawk helicopter crash in St. Mary’s County, Maryland, that left one dead and two hospitalized have been identified Tuesday night.
Spc. Jeremy Darrell Tomlin, 22, originally from Chapel Hill, Tennessee, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a statement from the U.S. Army Military District of Washington.
The injured were Chief Warrant Officer Christopher Nicholas and Capt. Terikazu Onoda. The Army says both are in critical condition at a Baltimore hospital.
Army investigators arrived earlier in the day at the scene of the crash. They are still looking into the cause of the crash.
The helicopter went down Monday afternoon on a golf course in Leonardtown, about 60 miles southeast of D.C.
All three were assigned to the 12th Aviation Battalion stationed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

Editor’s Note: Correction — In a story April 18 about a Black Hawk helicopter crash, The Associated Press, relying on information from the U.S. Army, reported erroneously that Tomlin was from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, but he was actually from Chapel Hill, Tennessee, according to a new statement from the Army.
