“We are waiting for a full report from autopsy before knowing for sure which round did that,” says Tindell, adding that authorities believe it is “more likely she ble “that she was hit by a bullet from an officer’s gun.
Robin and Anderson died in the place. Estorffe was taken to a local hospital where he died, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said.
“Yet We are working to put all these pieces together because it is a chaotic scene,” the outlet reported. “We have three people dead, two officers, a mother of three who was a veterinarian. We are putting together different parts of the body camera footage and trying to piece it all together so that we can paint a clearer picture of exactly what happened.”
Tindell reported that Anderson’s older children were not at the motel at the time and were staying with their father.
“Why would you leave your home in Jackson County, which is 43 minutes, and I would get a motel room at Motel 6?” Tindell added. “We know she had the motel room that night.”
According to her Facebook page, Anderson, who lived in Ocean Springs, studied at Mississippi State University and was a veterinarian for a long time. Her social profile is full of photos of her children and vacation trips.
“This is a very sad situation, and our deepest thoughts and condolences go out to the families of our missing officers,” Bay St. Louis Mayor Mike Favre said in a news release. 2022
