OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A prison inmate killed during a fight at Cimarron Correctional Facility in Cushing was identified today as 32-year-old Adam Lippert.

Lippert was serving a ten-year-sentence from Lincoln County for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.

Meanwhile, prison officials say they're still investigating the fight that left 14 other inmates injured, including one who is in critical condition at a Tulsa hospital and another in stable condition in a Stillwater hospital.

Prison spokeswoman Linda Hurst says the fight began yesterday afternoon in the prison gym where 60 to 65 inmates were exercising. She says the inmates used softball bats and other recreational equipment during the fight.
