LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: You are looking now at some live pictures that we are getting in from our Columbus, Ohio affiliate, WBNS. This is not in Columbus. This is actually just south of the town of Xenia, Ohio, which is in Southwestern Ohio.

And there you see a twin-engine plane that has crashed and just -- we just got word of this moments ago from the wires. And you can see, they're still working that crash scene. We understand there were two people on board. They were killed. The plane is registered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which is not far from there.

And they have base investigators on their way to scene right now. In fact, they may be there now. And the question -- one of the questions they're looking at is whether or not this plane was a military plane or if it was a private plane.

And we'll keep our eye on this story and bring you the other developments as we get them here at the CNN Center.
