Teri Shimp was at work when men from the Army arrived with the news she didn't want to hear.

Her son, 28-year-old Capt. Scott N. Shimp of Bayard, died Tuesday in a military helicopter crash during a training flight in northeastern Alabama.

Bayard is in the Panhandle, about 23 miles southeast of Scottsbluff.

Also killed in the crash were Chief Warrant Officer 2 David M. Stanley, 33, of Fort Rucker, Ala., and Sgt. Jeffrey Scott Angel II, 24, of Gauley Bridge, W.Va.

They were in a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter that struck power lines in foggy weather and plunged into a pasture, according to a release.

They were all assigned to Company C, 4th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment, 159th Combat Aviation Brigade, 101st Airborne Division.

When I was in the service my battalion lost 5 guys over a four year period.
