DENVER — Four soldiers died after a Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a training mission on Colorado’s second-highest mountain, the Army’s Special Operations Command said Thursday.

The helicopter crashed Wednesday afternoon near the summit of 14,421-foot Mount Massive.

The Army initially said two were killed, one was injured and one was missing. The missing man was found dead late Wednesday, and the injured man died on the way to the hospital Wednesday, said Lt. Col. John Clearwater, a spokesman for the command at Fort Bragg, N.C.

All were male soldiers from Fort Campbell, Ky., he said. Their names haven’t been released.
