A photo taken by a local resident shows the wreckage of a helicopter next to the wall of the compound where U.S. officials says Osama bin Laden was shot and killed in a firefight with U.S. forces in Abbottbad, Pakistan, on Monday, May 2, 2011.

Before dawn Monday, a pair of helicopters lowered into the compound, dropping the Navy SEALs behind the walls. No shots were fired, but shortly after the team hit the ground, one of the helicopters came crashing down and rolled onto its side due to a mechanical problem.
