Raleigh courthouse shooting suspect carries decades of lawsuits and legal woes

A Raleigh woman, Gwendolyn White, 57, is charged with two counts of attempted murder after shooting two attorneys outside the Wake County Courthouse during or after a hearing tied to a civil suit she filed against the Rolesville Police Department for body-camera footage. White has filed at least 15 lawsuits in Wake County since 1997, including cases against a church, and was limited by a gatekeeper order in 2023. She also faced a 2023 stalking case with a court-ordered mental-health treatment. The incident followed a hearing on her case; police say she retrieved a handgun from her car and opened fire as the attorneys left. White’s history with the courts includes disputes over her mother’s medical care and past social-media posts; her mother died in 2025, prompting additional online remarks before the shooting.
