Corporal Gregory May and Trooper Carey Poetzman were killed in a helicopter accident while responding to a medical transport request.
The officers had been dispatched from the Frederick Airport in Frederick County to Carroll County to transport a gunshot victim. Their helicopter encountered Instrument Meteorological Conditions and crashed in a heavily wooded area of Leakin Park in Baltimore City.
The crash caused the Maryland State Police to look for a more powerful and safer aircraft.
Corporal May was survived by his wife and son.
