BAY ST. LOUIS (WGNO) — After two Mississippi police officers died in the line of duty earlier this week, a fund has been set up to support their families.
The Southern Mississippi Planning and Development District has opened a donation account to aid in the funeral costs for Sergeant Steven Robin and Officer Branden Estorffe. The two were fatally shot while responding to a call for service at the Motel 6 on Highway 90.
