ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Four people were killed in a fatal helicopter crash Saturday evening near Las Vegas. 

According to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, three BCSO personnel and one Bernalillo County fire employee were onboard the helicopter at the time of the crash.

There are no known survivors. 

BCSO, New Mexico State Police and the National Transportation Board of Safety are now investigating the crash.

“I am heartbroken by the tragic loss of four New Mexicans while in the line of duty. These were four dedicated public servants who were doing what so many of our first responders do day in and day out: working tirelessly to serve and protect their fellow New Mexicans. On behalf of the people of New Mexico, I extend my deepest gratitude to these four brave individuals, and my deepest sympathy to their families, friends and colleagues,” said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.  “As we await additional details on the investigation, my office will offer any available support and assistance to the sheriff’s office and the county.
