The Iranian police personnel were seen firing at a U.S. military chopper in Alqchin-e Olya, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmed Province in Iran. In a video doing rounds on social media, gunfire is heard as the Iranian cops fire at the helicopter which was apparently looking for a crew member said to be missing after an American fighter aircraft was downed. The search is on for one missing U.S. service member while another was rescued after two warplanes went down in separate incidents including the first shoot-down since the Iran war began nearly five weeks ago.
