Wichita Mayor Lily Wu speaks at a news conference on Thursday in Wichita, Kan.

Wichita Mayor Lily Wu said that the city is in mourning after a plane that had taken off from Wichita crashed near Washington, D.C., last night and left no survivors.

Wu said this morning that she does not know yet how many Wichitans or Kansans were on the flight.

Wu said one passenger's family visited Wichita's airport last night and was received by a care team.
