A Utah prisoner accused of killing a corrections officer during a medical appointment tried to shoot a fast-food employee at the end of a high-speed chase with police but the weapon didn't fire, authorities said.
Documents filed to support the arrest of Curtis Allgier show there could have been more victims Monday after guard Stephen Anderson, 60, was shot in the head with his own gun while alone with the inmate at a University of Utah clinic.
Inside an Arby's restaurant, Allgier held the gun in the air and ordered customers and employees to the floor, Salt Lake City police Det. Mark Knighton wrote.
Two employees tried to wrestle the weapon away, but Allgier pointed the gun at one and pulled the trigger, the report states.
"The gun had a malfunction and didn't fire,'' Knighton wrote. "Allgier then hit both employees with the gun.''
A 59-year-old customer then snatched the gun from Allgier, who was subsequently arrested while hiding in a manager's office at Arby's.
