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 crash happened near an airport at Owatonna, a town of about 20,000 south of Minneapolis, that city's Star Tribune newspaper and a local TV station reported.

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.
