On July 6, 2001, Roosevelt, Utah lost its police chief when Chief Cecil Gurr was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance. A convenience store clerk had called after seeing a man forcing a woman into a vehicle. Chief Gurr and other officers arrived and found the suspect holding his ex-girlfriend at rifle point. As Chief Gurr stepped out of his patrol car, the gunman opened fire and killed him instantly. The suspect then forced the woman into his truck and fled; officers stopped the vehicle several blocks away and took the man into custody.

The shooter was identified as Lee Roy Wood. He later pleaded guilty to capital murder and two counts of attempted aggravated murder and on September 20, 2002 received a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Reports say Wood had forced his former girlfriend into the truck intending to travel to Salt Lake City to resolve a drug-related dispute.

Did anyone in Roosevelt at the time have memories or details about Chief Gurr, the response that night, or the moments before the shooting?
