The owner of the aircraft and the flight plan were not immediately made public, although authorities later said it might have come from either Coeur d’Alene, Idaho or Florida.

The jet can hold as many as 14 passengers and two crew.Nobody on the ground was hurt as the plane hit a wooded area near the Ponderosa Golf Course, a few blocks from the airport.An FAA statement said the agency and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash.
