COMMUNITY MEMORIAL--November 5, 2012 Atlanta : Tomekia Davis leaves a momento on Monday, Nov. 5, 2012 at a memorial where Officers Richard J. Halford, 48, and Shawn A. Smiley, 40, died near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. and Hamilton E. Holmes. Investigators searched for answers Sunday after an Atlanta police helicopter crashed late Saturday night and claimed the lives of two officers who were looking for a runaway boy. The helicopter hit the top of a power line pole and its support cables before falling to the ground, federal government investigators said Sunday. Ralph Hicks, investigator in charge for the National Transportation Safety Board, said witnesses reported that they heard the sound of a helicopter and saw a flash of light when it hit the pole. Part of the landing gear got stuck in the cables and later was taken down by utility crews. Hicks said he would not speculate on the cause of the crash, but said that a preliminary report could be available as early as the end of this week. He said that based on precedent, the investigation could take six to nine months to complete. Earlier, Atlanta Police Department officials identified the two officers killed in the crash which occurred near the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. and Hamilton E. Holmes drives near I-20 on the city’s northwest side as Richard J. Halford, 48, and Shawn A. Smiley, 40. JOHN SPINK / JSPINK@AJC.COM
