Two people were killed and 18 injured when a small plane crashed through the rooftop of a commercial building in Southern California on Thursday, police said.
Police spokeswoman Kristy Wells confirmed the two deaths after the crash in the city of Fullerton.
Ten people were taken to the hospital, while eight were treated and released at the scene, police said.
Ms Wells said the fire damaged the warehouse, which appeared to contain sewing machines and textile stock, with surrounding businesses evacuated.

It was not immediately known what type of plane it was or whether those injured were in the aircraft or on the ground, she said.
The flight-tracking website FlightAware showed a four-seat, single-engine aircraft crashed about a minute after take-off.
Security camera footage from Rucci Forge, a wheel manufacturer across the street, showed a fiery explosion and a large plume of black smoke as the plane appeared to dive into the building tilted on its side.
The plane crashed near the Fullerton Municipal Airport, a general aviation airport in Orange County that is about six miles from Disneyland. It has one runway and one heliport.
Metrolink, a regional train line, is nearby and flanks a residential neighbourhood and commercial warehouse buildings.
Fullerton is a city of about 140,000 people some 25 miles south east of Los Angeles.
