A police officer died and another was injured after a police helicopter crashed in southern California Saturday night, officials said.
The two officers were aboard the Huntington Beach Police Department's helicopter "HB1" responding to a disturbance call when it crashed into the water in Newport Beach, police chief Eric Parra said during a news conference.
Officer Nicholas Vella, 44, died from injuries suffered in the crash, the police chief said.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.
