Question Slammed Driver's Door & Engine Stopped Instantly, Now Won't Start! :-(

95 F150 XLT 4x4270K+ miles
Dual fuel tanks
5.0 liter
Automatic
Drove truck today with no issues, ran great.
Returned home & (with engine still running) I slammed the driver's door, & the engine instantly stopped.
I suspect that the door slam jarred something loose.
...electrical connection?
...fuse?
...sensor?
Has anyone experienced this?
What is my most likely gremlin??
Thanks!

Had this happen with theft system had to disconnect battery and later found there is a sequence with key to reset. Just a thought.

Possibly check the inertia switch. Its either on the firewall behind the brake pedal or behind the right side kick panel. Theres a little red button that will pop up this cuts off fuel flow when the truck is in a wreck. A violent enough slam could have possibly jarred it.
