HONOLULU— U.S. Army officials say four soldiers based at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii were killed last week when a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Afghanistan.

The Taliban claimed they gunned down the Black Hawk, leading to the crash on Thursday.

Army officials said Monday that among the seven Americans and four Afghans killed were: Chief Warrant Officer Brian Hornsby, 37, of Melbourne, Florida; Chief Warrant Officer Suresh Krause, 29 of Cathedral City, California; Sgt. Luis Galbreath, 41, of San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Sgt. Richard Essex, 23, of Kelseyville, California.
