An Air Force helicopter flying over northern Virginia on Monday was struck by a bullet, damaging the aircraft and resulting in a minor injury to one member of the crew, the Air Force said.

An Air Force spokesman said the helicopter, a UH-1N Huey, conducted an emergency landing in Manassas, Virginia, just before 1 p.m., and initial findings indicated it was struck by a bullet.

The helicopter, assigned to the 1st Helicopter Squadron, was conducting a routine training mission and landed safely. The Air Force and the FBI are investigating the incident.

The FBI said in a separate statement it sent special agents and its Evidence Response Team to the Manassas Airport, where the aircraft landed, following reports it was shot at from the ground.

The crew member who was hurt was treated for a non-threatening injury and released from the hospital, the FBI said. The Air Force declined to elaborate on the nature of the crew member's injury.

I predicted this years ago. This is what they will use as an excuse to fly military drones over domestic civilian populations.

The police can already do that.
As so far as the military flying drones there would be no purpose. The military cannot arrest or are not authorized to police except in a martial law situation. The cops, on the other hand can pretty much do what they want as so far as surveillance, and if they can't do it the FBI can with FISA warrants.

Well, martial law has not been declared yet.
We are not "there yet"
I am just saying having the technology is a slippery slope
and it is just a matter of time

I'd worry more about the police than the military. If martial law is declared it will be concentrated in the cities.

Owned by the CBP. Unarmed. It's no different than putting a man in a piper cub and flying over the area. The only difference is loiter time.
Now if it was armed and blowing up rioters, then that would have been awesome.
