Four people have been killed after a medevac helicopter crashed in Kern County, California.

Home  - Just before 7 p.m. Thursday the Skylife H-4 helicopter left Porterville Airport with a critical patient who was being transferred to San Joaquin Community Hospital in Bakersfield.

Ten minutes into the flight when a routine safety call from the Fresno County EMS dispatch center was unable to make radio contact with Skylife, they immediately contacted both airport towers.

Dispatch then contacted the local fire department and sheriff’s office.

The helicopter has one pilot, a flight nurse, flight paramedic and the patient.

An Air Ambulance spokesperson told the media at a press conference they were thankful for the support they’ve been receiving from officials and they do know the identities of the deceased and are in the process of contacting the families.”

Speaking Monday in the Southern California city of Buena Park, Sanchez said estimates show up to 20 percent of Muslims worldwide support, or are sympathetic to, the use of terrorism by the Islamic State or other radical groups. She says she didn't say up to 20 percent of Muslims are personally willing to engage in terrorism. Sanchez says her estimates came from mainstream academic and research sources.
