Event : Killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

An officer witnessed Parker run a stop sign at S.18th Street and Metropolitan Avenue. He then activated his lights in an attempt to pull her over but she failed to yield and fled the scene.
The driver of a Nissan Altima was chased by police while driving west on Metropolitan when she struck a slope in the roadway at the intersection of South 32nd Street. KHP said the driver lost control, ran off the road and struck a rock wall at a private residence. The crash remains under investigation by KHP. The crash report originally listed this incident as a police pursuit but as of Monday, KHP has changed its records saying this was not a police pursuit. The officer was reported as “following” instead of chasing but it may have had the same effect.

City : Bay St. Louis

County : Hancock

State : Mississippi

Agency : Bay St. Louis PD

Officer(s) : Branden Estorffe, Steven Robin

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Suicide during mental health crisis call

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Amy Brogdon Anderson was a local veterinarian who on December 14, 2022 called police and told them she was being followed and asked for help. Police evidently did not take this claim seriously and voiced concern about her minor daughter who was with her, pressuring her. She was threatened with Child Protective Services. Coming under intense scrutiny and accusations by police instead of receiving the help she had asked for, she tried to drive away from them. She shot at police, killing both officers. One officer had fired back. She was later found dead in her car from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Her child had been with her through the murders of 2 officers and apparently also her own suicide. She had already been in an agitated frightened state and belief has been voiced that she was triggered into desperate action when police threatened to take her child by force via CPS which triggered the catastrophic cascade of events by escalating her via police.
