Police Helicopter Crash in Arizona Kills Two; Queen Maxima Joins Dutch Army as Reservist

A police helicopter crash in Arizona, resulting in the deaths of two people, occurred at an active shooting scene Wednesday night, while in other news, the Netherlands' Queen Maxima has joined her country's army as a reservist. Meanwhile, federal authorities are set to withdraw 700 law enforcement personnel from Minnesota, and Minute Maid is discontinuing its frozen juice concentrates. In Arizona, the family of Nancy Guthrie, believed to have been abducted, issued an emotional plea for her safe return.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) Ranger helicopter was providing tactical air support for officers in Flagstaff when it crashed, according to Flagstaff police. Both the pilot and the trooper-paramedic on board were killed. At the time of the crash, law enforcement officers "were involved in a shooting with the active shooting suspect," Flagstaff police said. The suspect sustained non-fatal gunshot wounds and was taken into custody. The AZDPS Major Incident Division will lead the probe of the shooting and work with the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board in the crash investigation.

In the Netherlands, Queen Maxima, 54, has joined the Royal Netherlands Army as a reservist. "Maxima has chosen to register now because our safety can no longer be taken for granted," the Dutch royal family said in a statement released Wednesday, "and she, like many others, wants to contribute to that safety." After training with the Royal Netherlands Army, the Argentinian-born Dutch queen will be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and "like other reservists, she will deploy where needed," the statement added. Queen Maxima is scheduled to begin her training at the Royal Military Academy in Breda on February 4, 2025.

Domestically, federal authorities will "draw down" 700 law enforcement personnel in Minnesota immediately, according to border czar Tom Homan. The announcement came a day after Minnesota's top corrections official told CBS News about "conversations" with the federal government regarding a possible de-escalation in the state. Department of Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell said details on the drawdown remained "sketchy," but Homan stated that approximately 2,000 agents will remain in the state after the reduction.

Coca-Cola Co., the parent company of Minute Maid, announced Wednesday that it is discontinuing its frozen juice concentrates in the U.S. and Canada. "We are discontinuing our frozen products and exiting the frozen can category in response to shifting consumer preferences," the company said in a statement. Minute Maid's frozen juices will be discontinued by April, with inventory available while supplies last.

In Tucson, Arizona, the family of Nancy Guthrie, who authorities believe was abducted from her home over the weekend, released an emotional video pleading for her safe return. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings, Camron and Annie Guthrie, said they were aware of reports of a ransom note and are "ready to talk." Savannah Guthrie added, "However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us." The Guthries also emphasized Nancy's importance to them, describing her as "a kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness."
