The Marshall Police Department said the officer responded to a domestic disturbance at about 2:40 a.m. on the 500 block of Brussels Court.

The woman was airlifted to a hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where she later died from her injuries, according to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
