BAY ST. LOUIS, Miss. (AP) — Two police officers in coastal Mississippi were shot and killed early Wednesday by a woman who they had talked to for nearly 30 minutes in a motel parking lot, authorities said. The woman also died.

Amy Anderson, 43, was sitting in a parked SUV with a female child when the officers were sent to the parking lot of a Motel 6 in Bay St. Louis around 4:30 a.m. on a welfare check, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety said in a statement.

Bay St. Louis Police Sgt. Steven Robin and officer Branden Estorffe spoke to Anderson for nearly a half-hour before she fired at them while sitting in the vehicle, investigators said. During the conversation, the officers called for Child Protection Services, the police statement said.

Robin, 34, died in the parking lot. Estorffe, 23, died a short time later at the hospital, Mississippi Bureau of Investigation agents said.

Additional officers who rushed to the scene found Anderson dead from a gunshot wound to the chest. An earlier statement said the woman shot herself. It was unclear what happened to the girl inside the SUV.

A veterinarian from Ocean Springs shot and killed two Bay St. Louis police officers Wednesday morning before she is suspected of killing herself in a car in the parking lot of Motel 6, Sean Tindell, commissioner of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, told the Sun Herald.

Amy Brogdon Anderson, 43, was identified by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation as the woman who fired the shots before she died of a gunshot wound to the chest.

A child under the age of 10 was with Anderson in a brown Toyota Highlander. Anderson had backed her SUV into a parking spot on the west side of Motel 6 when two Bay St. Louis police officers arrived around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday. The police officers were responding to a welfare check.
