A sheriff says all three people aboard a twin-jet engine were killed when it crashed into some northern Mississippi woods.
Union County Sheriff Jimmy Edwards Tommy Nix and wife Merline Nix of Belmont, Mississippi, and co-pilot Jarrod Holloway of Booneville, Mississippi.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Rick Breitenfeldt tells The Associated Press that the Rockwell Sabreliner 65 aircraft crashed about 10:30 pm Saturday between New Albany and Blue Springs.
The jet was bound for Alabama's Marion County-Rankin Airport Fite from University Oxford Airport in Mississippi.
Severe storms were sweeping through Mississippi at the time, but Breitenfeldt says it was not immediately clear if the weather was a factor in the crash.
He says the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
