HARRISBURG — The Pennsylvania State Police say they regret any damage that occurred last weekend when one of their helicopters flew low over a tailgating crowd before the Penn State-Ohio State game, sending tents and other items flying.
The agency released a statement Thursday that says it’s “fully cooperating” with an investigation of the incident by the Federal Aviation Administration, and is doing its own review of what occurred.
Videos posted on social media show people’s astonished reaction as the chopper loomed over revelers in the Beaver Stadium parking lot Saturday, hours before kickoff for the night game.
State police say the pilot and supervisors didn’t mean to disturb property.

EAST PITTSBURGH — Authorities say an emaciated 5-year-old boy and a dead 32-year-old woman were found in a Pennsylvania home they say was in deplorable condition as a result of hoarding.
East Pittsburgh police went to the home around 8 p.m. Wednesday after relatives asked them to check on the woman’s welfare. The two were found a short time later.
Authorities say the woman had several health issues and her death is not considered suspicious. The boy was hospitalized in stable condition.
Their names have not been released.
