OCEAN SPRINGS, MISSISSIPPI: Loved ones of the veterinarian mother who died shooting dead two Mississippi cops in front of her 8-year-old daughters have expressed their utter disbelief. Amy Anderson, 43, killed Sergeant Steven Robin, 34, and Officer Branden Estorffe, 23 of the Bay St Louis Police after they responded to a welfare check call on December 14. Anderson died from a fatal chest wound. However, police are probing if she died by a self-inflicted wound or in the crossfire.

The mother of three and veterinarian was described as a "compassionate person" who was recently employed by the Lakeview animal hospital. Anderson's devasted relative, Breanne Anderson Simmons, penned an emotional post on Facebook thanking her friends and family for their support during this difficult time. "I wanted to post and say that we are deeply saddened and so appreciative of your kind words to us," she wrote. "Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts & prayers."
