WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita woman fled with her six children and summoned police three weeks before her estranged husband ran her off the road, shot and killed her, according to police and court records.

Kristin Florio-Gile, 33, took at least three steps to protect herself and her children from her husband, Randy Gile, which were documented in police and court records obtained by the Wichita Eagle .

Gile killed Florio-Gile on Oct. 6 before shooting himself to death. He had tracked her in a rental car on a rural Derby road, forced her vehicle into a spin and chased her down.

Florio-Gile's family says the system failed her.

Records show that Florio-Gile had filed for a protective order two years previously. She wrote in the court document that Gile "threatens my life, pulled a gun on me" and "threatens to hurt me."

Wichita police arrested Gile for felony aggravated assault after he threatened Florio-Gile with a gun on Sept. 15. Officers seized guns and ammunition from Gile and a detective interviewed Florio-Gile and one of their children as part of the investigation. He bonded out of jail within a day.

Florio-Gile obtained a new protective order to keep Gile away two days after she summoned police.

Police had an order to arrest him again in early October for allegedly violating the protective order. Police had prosecutors move up an appointment for considering charges to Oct. 10, which was four days after Florio-Gile was killed.

But Gile wouldn't have had to go back to jail, even if prosecutors had charged him, because he had already posted bond, although prosecutors could have tried to revoke bond if they were able to prove Gile violated the protective order, District Attorney Marc Bennett said.

Police weren't able to locate Gile to re-arrest him after that alleged violation.
