End of Watch:
Wednesday, June 17, 1998
Trooper Huff was shot and killed in the parking lot behind the state police headquarters in Coeur d?Alene, Idaho. She and the male suspect got into the gunfight at approximately 2300 hours after the suspect biked to the headquarters and opened fire. The suspect shot Trooper Huff 17 times, the last one as she lay on the ground helpless. Two of the rounds were stopped by her vest and one severed her spinal cord, paralyzing her from the waist down. During the shoot out Trooper Huff was able to return fire and struck the suspect once in the shoulder and once in the throat before her .45 caliber Smith Wesson, which holds only 9 rounds, ran out of ammunition. Trooper Huff was pronounced dead at the scene.
