Apparently, Allgier was complaining of back pain and the officer, Stephen Anderson, had escorted him to to an MRI appointment at the University of Utah Medical Center. In the exam room, Allgier somehow grabbed Anderson's gun and allegedly shot him in the head. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Allgier is associated with the Aryan Brotherhood.
