The chase ended when the man drove the heavily-damaged vehicle into the drive-thru of an Arby's restaurant at 1700 S. Redwood Road. Mark Setterman was at the intersection when the chase reached Arby's. He said a blue SUV drove across the sidewalk before going to the drive-thru.

"Then I saw 50 or 60 cop cars right behind him," he said. "They started to go right after him, and drove right into the drive-thru."

Shots were fired in the parking lot, and at least one officer was injured, but not seriously, before the man fled inside. Shirley Smiley, who works at Trolley Square and was in that mall during a shooting spree earlier this year, said she was just leaving from the south entrance of the restaurant when a man entered the north doors of the Arby's.

She then "heard one shot fired" before officers told her to get down on the pavement.

Soon afterwards, Smiley, 57, saw one employee, later identified by police as the man who disarmed Algier, dragged out of the restaurant. All together, she thought there were about 10 customers and four employees in Arby's.

The Explorer Algier had been driving remained parked in the drive-thru, pinned to the curb with its right tire missing.

Officers eventually found Algier hiding in the manager's office, where he was arrested.

Witnesses described seeing several people, including Arby's employees, leaving the restaurant with injuries.

Brede said one man was "cut" after having been struck by some sort of object.

"He had scrapes and scratches on his face," said Fawn Delaney, who lives in a nearby apartment complex. "He had a big ol' beach towel wrapped around his head."

He was taken to the hospital but did not appear to be seriously injured. Two women employees were also seen leaving the restaurant, visibly shaken and in tears.

Anderson was a 22-year veteran of the Utah Department of Corrections, Patterson said.

The officer's family told the Deseret Morning News this afternoon that he was a generous, kind and caring man who was dedicated to his family.

"I don't think he had an enemy in the world," said Shawn Anderson, who himself is a corrections officer. "He was an amazing kind of guy who would do anything to help you out. Just the greatest kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back."

Shawn Anderson said his family, who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are receiving help and support from their ward.
