Gwendolyn White, 57, of Raleigh, North Carolina, was recently arrested and charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder for allegedly shooting Mary Harris and Jeffrey Whitley—two Fox Rothschild lawyers representing the Rolesville Police Department in North Carolina.
White “became belligerent in court” and was reportedly ordered to leave the courtroom of the Wake County Courthouse in Raleigh, North Carolina. Witnesses said allegedly she went to her car to get a gun and returned to the courthouse where both lawyers were exiting the building. They are expected to recover from their wounds, according to coverage by Law.com and WRAL.
During White’s court appearance following the shooting, she expressed concern about her mother, Elleen White, not receiving proper care. In 2024, Wake County Health and Human Services sought to find a third-party guardian for Elleen White, noting that regarding Gwendolyn White, there were “concerns about caretaker neglect and the fitness of the caretaker to continue serving in that role,” according to court documents.
Posts on social media and filings in court show that White believed that the Rolesville Police Department was involved in “a racist conspiracy” to kill her and her mother, who died last year at age 90 in a nursing home, according to the Raleigh News & Observer.
