Trooper Summers and Trooper Young had been assigned to participate in a search for
two McAlester Penitentiary escapees being sought for multiple murders committed after their escape in their flight through six states.

Trooper Summers and Trooper Young encountered the two escapees on a county road near
Kenefic and were killed in the resulting gun fight. Both escapees were shot and killed in Caddo by troopers later that same day.
