Policeman Smith succumbed to a gunshot wound sustained the previous day while he and other officers attempted to arrest bank robbery suspects. A motorcycle officer had pursued the suspects until the men stopped the car and exited. The suspects opened fire on the motorcycle officer and other officers who were arriving on the scene. The motorcycle officer was wounded in the hip and Policeman Smith suffered a fatal shot to his chest.
One of the suspects was shot and killed, one was wounded and taken into custody, and two others escaped from the scene.
