UVALDE, Texas – A young Texas couple was killed Saturday moments after they were married.
The Houstonian, the student-run newspaper of Sam Houston State University, was among the first to report that Will Byler and Bailee Ackerman Byler were killed when a helicopter departed from their wedding crashed north of Uvalde.
Uvalde Police received a call from an aviation monitoring center around midnight Saturday notifying them of a possible downstream aircraft of Uvalde County.
Several agencies, including Texas DPS troopers, Wardens Game, Border Patrol, and the Uvalde Fire Department, have been in the search for the aircraft. Police say that shortly after sunrise Sunday, the accident was located.
DPS and the Federal Aviation Administration continues to investigate the scene. The NTSB says the incident involved Bell 206B – a two-bladed, twin-engine chopper.
A spokesperson for the Uvalde Fire Department confirmed to KENS 5 that multiple people died in the crash.
A Monday morning, saying "Our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with this family at their great loss."
