17 July 2012: a suspended SkyWest Airlines pilot, under investigation by police for the recent fatal stabbing of a woman at his Colorado Springs residence, stole a SkyWest CRJ200 at St. George Regional Airport in Utah. After apparently scaling the airport perimeter fence, the man started the aircraft and attempted to taxi from the gate, but clipped a jet bridge and the terminal building, damaging the left wing and causing a fuel leak; he then taxied the aircraft through a fence and into a parking lot, striking several parked autos, and fatally shot himself in the aircraft aisle.[46] The stolen aircraft, Canadair CRJ200ER N865AS, was damaged beyond repair and written off.[47]
