Trooper 3 Down with Hole in Blade!

Maryland State Police say they temporarily grounded their new AW139 medevac helicopter after a hole was found in the rotor. The newly purchased helicopter has been stranded on the helipad atop University of Maryland Shock Trauma Hospital since yesterday when a pilot discovered the damage during a routine inspection.

State Police spokesman Greg Shipley says investigators are exploring the possibility the hole was caused by a bullet. Trooper 3 flies out of the Frederick Barracks.
