Who is Curtis Allgier?

Salt Lake City -- A prison inmate taken to the University of Utah for a medical appointment Monday stole a gun from a corrections officer and fatally shot Steven Anderson, authorities said.

Curtis Allgier fled the scene on foot, carjacked a Ford Explorer
and was captured miles away at an Arby's restaurant after a
high-speed chase.

Allgier, who has a swastika and "skin head" tattooed on his
forehead, was inside an examination room at the campus orthopaedic
center around 7:45 a.m. MDT, university Police Chief Scott Folsom
said.

"There was some sort of altercation. The inmate got hold of the
weapon and shot the officer," he said.

"The suspect exited the building but did not injure any other
staff. Everybody else is just fine," Folsom said.

Police pursuing Allgier stopped his vehicle by placing spikes in
the road near the Arby's.

Inside the restaurant, at least one person was shot and injured
by Allgier but was able to walk out, said Salt Lake City police
Sgt. Rich Brede.

Allgier, 27, was not armed when he was captured inside the
manager's office, Brede said.

A spokesman for the Utah Department of Corrections said officers
routinely transport prisoners to the university for medical
appointments.

"Nobody here can remember one of our officers ever being killed
during a transfer," spokesman Jack Ford said.

Allgier was in prison on a parole violation. His criminal record
includes burglary, forgery and at least one weapons crime,
according to records.

It was not immediately known why he had a medical appointment
Monday.

Police arrived at the Arby's just as Shirley Smiley, 57, was
outside after breakfast with her husband and son. She didn't see
Allgier but heard a "popping noise" inside that turned out to be
a gunshot.

Police yelled "get down!" and the three of them dropped to the
ground in the parking lot, Smiley said.

She was at Trolley Square, a Salt Lake City mall, in February
when five people were killed during a shooting spree.

"I was pretty scared," Smiley said after Allgier was arrested.
"I'm still in a state of panic."

Looks like a fine upstanding citizen. It's hard to believe he would do something like that.

Does Utah have Captial Punishment? Looks like he won't even notice another needle

Can you post the link to the actual news site story so I can print it out. We constantly have deputies in with prisoners for medical treatment. Back in 88 (I think) an inmate got a deputies gun away from him. Some time later, MPD had to shoot and kill the inmate in the lower level. Amazingly, this hasn't happened since, but it's only a matter of time I'm sure.

AP picked it up, so you can find it just about anywhere and everywhere at this point.

Hopefully the police officers involved did not violate this Amercan citizen's civil rights and talked nicely to him and put the cuffs on him so they caused no discomfort. I hope he had a comfortable ride back to the institution where he will be fed, clothed and cared for, in climate controlled comfort, for many years. Pardon me a moment, please. I gotta go regurgitate.

Sorry for the rant, guys and gals. But for a working man to loose his (sometimes her) life in such a senseless way just infuriates me. I still think "all" escorts should be a minimum of two officers. AND the cuffs and leggings "stay on" no matter what the hospitol staff says.

Again, sorry for the rant. Nobody here to vent to.
