Trooper Ronald L. Carey, 29 years of age, and his partner, Trooper David C. Yarrington, 24, attempted to capture two hold-up suspects at the Concord Motel, U. S. Route 202, Johnson's Corner, Pennsylvania, on January 5, 1972. The results of the valorous act ended in tragedy as both Carey and Yarrington were killed. This dual tragedy was perhaps best summarized by Ronald Carey's mother, who said of her son, "I suppose if he had to go, this is the way he wanted to go, but I didn't think it would be so soon."
