Dead car and no restart after putting it in reverse 700

I'm currently stuck at school. I went outside this morning to head off to school and when i started the car, i thought i was good to go. However, as soon as a put the car in reverse, it died. I put it back into park and tried starting it again. I can get it to crank, but not restart. And after cranking for a bit, it seems to slow down just a tad but never starts up. I checked the hose in the back of the fuel pressure regulator and smelled fuel. Ended up having my cousin drive me to school.

I know to check for spark and timing belt. Anything else? Anyone had a car that died after putting it into reverse?
