Detective John Smith and Detective Charles Wilson were shot and killed while responding to a local hotel to investigate a recent theft.

Unknown to them, two murder suspects from Texas were hiding in the hotel. When the Detectives arrived, a gun battle ensued in which Detective Wilson, Detective Smith and one suspect were killed. Two paramedics who rushed to the scene to aid the detectives were wounded.
