D Correct answer
Explanation

The preposition 'with' is used to indicate the instrument or tool used to perform an action. When someone is killed using a weapon, we say 'killed with a gun.' 'From' would indicate source or cause, 'in' would indicate location or method, and 'of' would indicate possession or origin - none of which fit the context of using a weapon.
