Two attorneys were shot outside the old Wake County Courthouse in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday morning. Mary Harris and Jeffrey Whitley, both of the national law firm Fox Rothschild, were representing the Rolesville Police Department in a civil case involving police body-camera video.
Raleigh resident Gwendolyn White, 57, left the courtroom after becoming belligerent, retrieved a gun from her car, and fired on the attorneys as they exited the building, according to WRAL News and Raleigh Chief of Police Rico Boyce.
Court filings indicate the body-camera footage was connected to the death of White’s mother last year. The shooting occurred shortly after the morning hearing concluded.
Harris underwent surgery and is in stable condition, her father confirmed. Whitley’s condition has not been publicly disclosed. White was arrested at the scene and charged with attempted murder.
