The girlfriend of one of the police officers who was shot dead by a mother-of-three in a motel in Mississippi has paid a heartbreaking tribute to her ‘best friend’ and the ‘most selfless man I know’.
23-year-old Brendan Estorffe and Police Sgt. Steven Robin, 34, were both killed after approaching Dr. Amy Anderson in her car in the parking lot of Motel 6 at around 4:30 am.
The cops saw the mother-of-three was with her young daughter and after speaking with her, they called child protection services.
But Anderson, 43, gunned the cops down in front of her 10-year-old daughter. Estorffe died in Memorial Hospital while Robin died on the scene.
According to reports, Anderson also died of a gunshot wound and police continue to investigate whether it was self-inflicted.
Her daughter, who was still inside the car, was uninjured.
Estorffe’s devastated girlfriend, Madison Bartlett, said that he loved her daughter Baylor ‘as if she were your own.”
“You were patient, kind and living. The most selfless person I know. I don’t want this life without you.”
She added: “I love you forever Branden Estorffe.”
Anderson worked at MedVet Mobile and Lakeview Animal Hospital. Her co-worker told Daily Mail that she had only been employed by the hospital for about 33 days before the shooting even though she has already worked as a local vet for many years.
The mother-of-three was described was a “very, very compassionate person” who “cried over a bearded lizard” that was getting treatment.
The community gathered to support the local police force.
Donna Brignac, the manager of PJ’s coffee were cops are known to gather, said: “We’re a strong community and I believe we have a lot of support and love from other communities as well…the whole Gulf Coast is one.”
Gov. Tate Reeves also took to Twitter and wrote: “I am heartbroken by this terrible loss of two brave law enforcement officers. I am praying for their family, friends, their fellow officers, and the entire Bay St. Louis community.”
