The two victims were attorneys representing the town of Rolesville as part of the civil lawsuit involving the alleged shooter, according to the town of Rolesville. 

Police have identified the suspect as 57-year-old Gwendolyn White. She has been transported to a local hospital for treatment. Attempted murder charges are pending, according to police.

Police did not reveal what the civil lawsuit was about.

The shooting occurred just after 10:30 a.m. on Friday outside the Old Wake County Courthouse, according to the Raleigh Police Department. 

After the court case ended, the suspect left the courthouse, got their vehicle and returned to the courthouse. The suspect then got out of the vehicle, approached the two victims and shot them both, Boyce said at a press conference on Friday.

“When deputies and officers came out of the courthouse, they encountered an adult female who was in possession of a handgun. That female was taken into custody,” Boyce said. 

Police also found two adult victims suffering from gunshot wounds, police said.
