The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating after the crew of a National Guard Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter reported being “illuminated” by a green laser about two miles from Hector International Airport in North Dakota.
FAA officials said the incident happened at about 9 p.m. local time on Thursday.
No injuries were reported, according to the agency.

FAA ‘PERMANENTLY RESTRICTING’ WASHINGTON HELICOPTER TRAFFIC AFTER FATAL MIDAIR COLLISION NEAR DC AIRPORT
The Army confirmed to Fox News Digital the aircraft was being operated by the National Guard.
FAA officials notified local authorities and will investigate.
The incident comes just more than a week after a tour helicopter crashed into the Hudson River in Jersey City, New Jersey, on April 10, killing six people — including a pilot, two other adults and three children.

6 DEAD, INCLUDING 3 CHILDREN, AFTER HELICOPTER PLUMMETS INTO HUDSON RIVER
Elsewwere, in January, an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair with a passenger plane over the Potomac River during an Army “flight check,” killing 67 people. There were no survivors.
Since then, the FAA said it was “taking a series of steps” to improve safety near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).
Officials said they identified more than 15,000 instances of planes being alerted about helicopters in proximity between October 2021 and December 2024.

The FAA announced in March it was permanently restricting non-essential helicopter operations around DCA, eliminating helicopter and fixed-wing mixed traffic, and permanently closing certain helicopter routes as recommended by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Simultaneous use of certain runways was also prohibited, and the use of visual separation was limited to certain Coast Guard, Marines and Park Police helicopter operations outside restricted airspace.
The National Guard did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The Paramore frontwoman appears to be mapping out tour dates behind her 2025 solo album, ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.’
Hayley Williams will soon have a date with Detroit.
The Paramore frontwoman’s website was updated Saturday with a list of cities underneath the header, “cu_soon.jpg.”
Detroit was one of 28 cities listed on the itinerary, along with Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Raleigh and Los Angeles, and a handful of South American cities.
Over the course of the last week, Williams, 37, has been slowly rolling out dates on her latest solo tour, which comes on the heels of her 2025 solo album “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.” An earlier round of touring behind the project did not include a Detroit date.
The singer’s last local visit came when Paramore played Little Caesars Arena in June 2023.

Sheriff: Driver of stolen vehicle flees traffic stop in St. Paul, hits State Patrol car in Minneapolis
The driver of a stolen car fled a traffic stop Friday night in St. Paul before crashing into a Minnesota State Patrol car in Minneapolis, according to the Ramsey County sheriff’s office.
A Ramsey County sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop the stolen Hyundai sedan at about 10:30 p.m. in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. The driver fled and crossed the Ford Parkway Bridge into Minneapolis before the deputy lost sight of the vehicle and ended the pursuit, according to the sheriff’s office.
The suspect was then observed driving recklessly and ran a stop sign at West 46th Street and Aldrich Avenue South at 80 mph. The vehicle collided with a State Patrol squad car, causing significant injuries to the trooper and passengers in the stolen vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
The 19-year-old suspect was quickly arrested after attempting to flee on foot. The driver has two prior arrests for fleeing police and is being held at the Ramsey County jail, according to the sheriff’s office.
Police say the same vehicle was involved in a pursuit Thursday night in the west metro, during which it reportedly swerved at emergency vehicles but did not hit them.
