A Utah prison inmate is back in jail this afternoon after he shot and killed a corrections officer while at the University of Utah for a medical exam.
The inmate was at the University Orthopaedic Center for an exam at about 7:45 this morning, alone in a room with a corrections officer. Somehow, he stole the gun of that corrections officer, Stephen Anderson, shot and killed him. Exactly how that happened is unclear.
The heavily-tattooed 27-year-old Curtis Allgier was there for an MRI. He had complained of lower back pain. The procedure requires an officer to replace the prisoner's metal restraints with a plastic "flex cuff." This time, something went wrong.
Tom Patterson, Director of the Utah Department of Corrections, says, "They were sequestered in an examination room, which was immediately next to one of the MRI machines. Some sort of an altercation occurred. The suspect was able to get the guard's weapon away from him and at least one shot was fired."
Sixty-year-old Stephen Anderson, a 22-year-veteran, died from a shot in the head.
Allgier fled, carjacking a Ford Explorer, taking police on a chase on I-80, I-15, I-215 and S.R.201. The chase reached speeds of 100 miles per hour. When police spiked the car's tires, Allgier ran into an Arby's at 1700 South and Redwood Road.
Ted Tafoya witnessed the chase and says, "It was crazy, he got away like that. Some guy shot somebody at the University and he came over here and tried to barricade himself inside the Arby's."
Inside, a 59-year-old customer wrestled the gun away. Allgier was not armed when police captured him inside the manager's office.
A lot of people saw all of this happen. They say it was pretty scary. One witness said, " Saw a black SUV come up here down this road right here, he pulled in right here, came in, back tire was blown out on the right side. He was just squealing the rims."
Another witness said, "I got here as soon as the cops all pulled up and they surrounded the building and everything."
A third witness said, "Just when we exit the door, I heard a popping noise. I thought it was a firecracker. I thought nothing of it. And next thing I know police officers coming from all different directions into the parking lot. And police officers were yelling at us, ?_~duck down, duck down.' So we fell down to the ground next to the car."
According to Salt Lake City Police, an employee was injured; he was hit by something, but it was not a bullet. He was treated and he is expected to be OK.
Salt Lake Police spokesman, Rich Brede, said, "We're very fortunate with the access of victims there, that it didn't go sideways on us. So we're grateful for that."
Allgier was in prison on a parole violation. His criminal record includes burglary, forgery and at least one weapons crime.
He was identified as Utah's Public Enemy Number One for violating parole last year before he was captured. He had previously been arrested for carrying a concealed, dangerous weapon and for escaping official custody.
Jack Ford, the spokesperson for the Utah Department of Corrections, sent a statement that reads, "Following the shooting incident, visiting at the Utah State Prison and the Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison has been canceled, and offenders are on lockdown. Transportation of inmates will be on an emergency basis only. The changes will be reviewed daily."

Let's examine this. A corrections officer is dead by his own weapon. A citizen disarms and recaptures the felon.
Hey Rich, wanna define victim for me?0 -
this proves my point that felons/cons are defective units and should be recycled. 0 -
quote:The heavily-tattooed 27-year-old Curtis Allgier
...Man, is that an understatement! I saw a mug shot of this slime, and I don't think there was a square inch of his face/head/neck that was not adorned with a tat(s)! His entire face, neck, even INSIDE of his ears had tats!
...I have nothing against tats though I don't have one. I started to get one a few hundred times, just never could decide which one I liked well enough to have to look at and carry around all my life.
...When I found one I liked, or drew one I liked, I always would think what it would look at if I lived to be 70, it wasn't a pretty picture [:D]...kinda like the "tramp stamp" in the small of their back a lot of women get when their very young, well, can you imagine sneaking up on THAT from behind when they turn 60-70??[:0] One of my X's had a little full colored panda bear holding a rose on her right hip, high on her right butt cheek actually...and I liked it! [:p]
...least I won't have to watch it "transform" when she gets old!
...I find it amazing the people who tattoo their face/neck as a form of "self expression, non-conformity", or whatever, then act surprised when/if seeking a proffessional position are then surprised when they do not get the position, though maybe well qualified, well duh.
...That's one of the problems associated with tats (granted, this guy took it to the extreme), before he doomed himself to death or life in prison by this act, he would have been a career criminal if he had ever gotten out of prison; because there is no way anyone would have ever hired the guy for an honest job sporting the number tats he did.
...He actually looked like one of the tattoed freaks at a carnival he had so many tats...[:0]

It was an old retired soldier that help bring this guy down.
Quote from deseret morning news. "Eric Fullerton says he didn't feel his skin being sliced when Curtis Allgier cut his throat, but he did feel the cold steel of the serrated knife and hear his flesh ripping". How many other would have coward away at the first sight of the knife?
Hats off to this soldier.0 -
I posted about his yesterday. Did not notice this earlier post. The officer that was killed was two months away from retirement. In fact, he could have retired two years ago with full benefits. What waste. Now the killer will sit on death row for 15 years. At least here in Utah, the death penalty is still going strong. 0 -
scum like this should be taken out in the open field wacked dressed! 0 -
I worked a case similar to this one when I was a rookie Paramedic.
A deputy had taken an inmate to the big state mental institution in our town. The inmate got the deputy's .357 away from him and fired away.
When we got to the scene, the deputy was laying in a pool of blood. He had four bullet holes in his head. I was a rookie, but I figured, "This guy is dead as hell."
Yet as I worked on the guy, intubating him etc., I could see that his eyes were open, and he was looking at me! I thought, what the hell?
He had good vital signs, too.
He had three bullet holes in his face, and one in the back of his head.
We got him back to our hospital, and to my amazement he was still alive, and in pretty good shape.
Exams in the ER revealed the mystery. Two of the bullet holes in the face were from the same bullet. It went in the left upper cheek, and exited the right upper cheek. It went through the sinuses, but did not go through the brain.
The other bullet hit in the right cheek, and ran around the skull, inside the scalp, and exited at the back of the head. It did not damage the skull.
That was one lucky deputy.
One interesting side note. We xrayed every inch of this deputy's body, trying to figure out where all the bullets were. On the chest xray, we saw about 30 little bird shot imbedded in the guy's back. This injury had happened long ago, and was completely healed up.
The deputy's brother was in the waiting room. The ER doc asked me to find out what the deal was on the bird shot. The deputy's brother said he did not know that his brother had been shot by a shotgun.
Now, I wonder what the guy was doing that he got shot in the back with a shotgun, and didn't even tell his brother about it?
Well the deputy recovered completely and was back at work in a month. Lucky patient of the year.
Following this incident the mental hospital changed their rules: No law enforcement officer could bring a firearm into the building.0
