CHICAGO, July 31 (Reuters) - At least seven people were killed in the crash of a small plane at an airport in southern Minnesota, local media reports said on Thursday.

The plane had been en route from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to the Owatonna area, the report said, adding there had been stormy weather at the time.
