Penn State halts helicopter use after pilot flew over crowd

Penn State said Tuesday that it has stopped using helicopters to make announcements outside the football stadium after a state police chopper flew so low over an unruly tailgating crowd that it sent tents and other items flying.

A university police spokeswoman said it won’t resume having a helicopter make crowd announcements until the issue can be fully examined.
