3. GOT IT

The Marines confirmed a Sikorsky H-53 helicopter was down, although there was no immediate word on casualties.

An Associated Press reporter saw it burning 12 miles east of Fallujah in the village of Zawbaa. U.S. troops trying to reach the downed aircraft were attacked by gunmen, the reporter said. Witnesses said four U.S. soldiers were shot by insurgents
