The young Oklahoma city man accused of shooting at a police helicopter to impress a girlfriend is facing a federal charge.  A federal grand jury Tuesday indicted Michael P. Mcmichael.  He is charged with one count of damage to an aircraft and one count of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.

He had faced a felony assault charge in Oklahoma County District Court over the helicopter shooting.  State prosecutors Wednesday dropped their case so he could face the more serious federal charge.  Police reported his girlfriend said he called her in June to tell her to look outside at the police helicopter and she then heard a gunshot.
