The defendant, Brenda Brown, shot the decedent, Brenda Brown Gills, killing her. Plaintiffs, the decedent’s husband and two minor children,1 sued the defendant and her personal liability insurer, Allstate Insurance Company, for damages. Plaintiffs’ claim against Allstate Insurance Company was dismissed on motion for summary judgment. Plaintiffs and Brenda Brown opposed Allstate’s motion for summary judgment in the trial court.
