The 8-year-old daughter of the veterinarian who shot two Mississippi police officers has revealed that she handed her the gun that was used to ambush the cops, the Daily Mail reported.
“Momma told me to give her the gun, so I gave her the gun,” the young girl told a guest at the Motel 6 in Bay St. Louis.
The 8-year-old also said that she had witnessed the moment her mom Amy Anderson shot the officers.
“Momma shot the cops and momma was shot. Her eyes are open and she is breathing a little bit,” the little girl said.
Anderson shot Sergeant Steven Robin, 34, and Officer Branden Estorffe, 23, in the parking lot of the motel. According to reports, she was also shot and killed by one of the cops.
She reportedly checked into the motel at 2:35 am.
“She was acting normal,” one of the guests who saw her in the lobby with her daughter told Daily Mail.
But less than an hour later, Anderson asked the front desk clerk to call the cops because ‘someone was following her.’
Estorffe and Robin responded to the scene and pulled their patrol cars in front of Anderson’s vehicle that was in front of room 117.
A guest said she was sitting about 50ft away from Anderson’s room when she noticed the mother loading her belongings back into her vehicle.
The officers made a 30-minute conversation with Anderson in the room before she and her daughter returned to their car, the girl sitting in the front passenger seat.
“I heard her tell police that she wanted to leave. The cops told her she couldn’t leave until they had finished their investigation,” the guest said.
When the guest heard some screaming, she decided to return inside her room. But within seconds, she said multiple shots rang out.
The motel guest then said that she saw the young girl walking around the car. She had blood splattered on her face, arms, and legs.
“Momma told me people are trying to kill us,” the girl told the guest. “Is momma going to be OK?”
Other police officers arrived and loaded Estorffe into their vehicle but he later died in Memorial Hospital in Gulfport.
Robin died on the scene.
