A Utah woman made an agonizing call for help to 911 moments before her husband shot their whole family in a horrific murder-suicide, police say.
Kaylene Allred, 61, was killed, and her two children injured, by 64-year-old Floyd Allred, before he turned the gun on himself.
Police said Allred called 911 shortly before 10.30pm on March 31, and as she talked to dispatch, shots rang out and the woman screamed.
Seconds later, more shots were fired, and the woman stopped responding to dispatch.
Unified Police Department PIO Sgt. Aymee Race told People that the woman reported a domestic dispute between a stepfather and son, adding there were ‘threats of a weapon’ and that alcohol and drugs were involved.
When officers arrived at the family home, Allred’s 30-year-old son, Christian, ran out of the house and told officers that he, his mother, and sister, 37-year-old Brittany, had been shot.
The two siblings were taken to a local hospital, where they are in stable condition as of Tuesday.
‘I think it’s very important to note the 911 operator did a phenomenal job. You know, unfortunately, it was the last moments of that caller’s life, but it’s difficult on everyone, from family, friends to [those] close on scene,’ Race told Fox 13.

Kaylene Allred, 61, was shot and killed by her husband, 64-year-old Floyd Allred, before he turned the gun on himself in an alleged domestic violence incident


Allred’s children, Brittany, 37, and Christian, 30, were both shot and injured in the incident
Police said they have been previously called to the home for ‘non-violent domestic violence incidents.’
Friends said Allred had worked at a Sapp Bros travel stop for 25 years and was a community staple.
‘Kaylene was great. She was the mama of the crowd; she was a beautiful soul. She was just an amazing person, she truly was,’ her coworker, Tanya Metzger, told KSL.
‘She was our ‘Coffee Bar Queen’ and customers love her. She has been there so long, customers had a great relationship with her and are devastated.’
Another co-worker, Angela Simister, told the outlet that she was aware of the couple’s struggles but never expected this to happen.
‘I’ve worked with her for 25 years now, and it’s just heartbreaking every time I go to work and she’s not there,’ Simister said.
‘She deserved so much better. She took care of her kids – she’d do anything for her children.
‘I know that they had been having some struggles. But, I was shocked that it went that far.’

A GoFundMe created in Allred’s honor described her as ‘a dear friend and coworker who brought warmth and kindness to everyone she met.’
Another fundraiser for Christian and Brittany said they were ‘severely injured and are recovering after being shot multiple times.’
‘Brittany is one of the most loving and caring people you will ever meet. She has already faced numerous medical battles of her own, and despite it all, she has never stopped showing up for the people around her,’ the page said.
‘Christian is a young father with a little girl who needs him home and healthy.’
