What police say happened<\/p>\n
Investigators say the shooting happened shortly after a court proceeding Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Police say White left the courthouse, went to her car, retrieved a handgun, and approached two attorneys in an alley before opening fire.<\/p>\n
Officers and deputies nearby quickly took her into custody.<\/p>\n
Video obtained by ABC11 shows officers escorting White after the incident.<\/p>\n
People inside the courthouse described a sudden and unsettling scene.<\/p>\n
“This is very wild, especially with it happening while we were in family court,” said Securia Stedman.<\/p>\n
“To be here when something like this happens is kind of unsettling,” added Indya Strickland.<\/p>\n
The alley where the shooting happened has since reopened after an hours-long investigation. No visible evidence of bullet damage remained at the scene Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Both Wake County courthouses are closed for the remainder of the day.<\/p>\n
Victims identified<\/p>\n
Court documents identify the victims as attorneys Mary Harris and Jeffrey Whitley. Their names also appear on their law firm’s website.<\/p>\n
Officials have not released details about their conditions, but both were taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n
