Local Marine killed in Yuma crash

Yuma, Ariz.--One of the Marines killed in that helicopter crash near the California-Arizona border this week was from Metro Atlanta.


Twenty five year old Corey Little was one of seven marines killed when the two choppers, a Huey and a Cobra, collided Wednesday night during a training exercise over the Yuma training range. One was from the Yuma Air Station, the others from Camp Pendleton.

Little was a crewman on the Huey. He was a 2004 graduate of Sandy Creek High School in Fayette County, and attended Southern Polytechnic State University before joining the Marines in 2009.

He leaves a wife who's expecting a baby.
