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.
