On December 11, 2009, 62-year-old Trudy Propps of Stillwater, Minnesota, was shot and later died at Regions Hospital in St. Paul after a domestic dispute escalated during a 911 call. Trudy had called for medical help for her 62-year-old husband, Gerald Propps, saying he was dehydrated and not in his right mind. While the call was ongoing, Gerald shot Trudy in the back; their daughter pulled Trudy out into the hallway while Trudy remained on the phone with the dispatcher.

Officer Bradley Allen arrived and found Trudy in the hallway with her daughter. Inside the apartment, Gerald confronted the officer armed with a semi-automatic handgun and ignored commands to drop it. Gerald fired through a wall; Officer Allen returned fire and fatally wounded Gerald. Trudy later died of her injuries and the daughter was injured in the incident. A grand jury later found the officer’s use of deadly force to be justified.

Does anyone have information about Trudy, Gerald, or their family that could add context to what happened that day?
