Latest News About Gwendolyn White

Here’s the latest on Gwendolyn White based on recent reporting.

• May 2026 updates: White was involved in a high-profile incident outside a Wake County courthouse in Raleigh, where two attorneys were shot as they left the courthouse. She was immediately taken into custody and later charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder; authorities indicated she would be held without bond as the case proceeded. This sequence followed her earlier courtroom appearance in a civil matter and ongoing disputes about access to video footage related to a prior incident.[1][2][3][4][7]

• Background and context: In the wake of the shooting, news outlets highlighted White’s long history of civil litigation and her history with mental health concerns, including prior court-ordered treatment in a stalking-related case and numerous lawsuits she filed over the years. Reports note that she often represented herself in court and has had at least one gatekeeper order placed to limit new filings. This history is discussed in the context of the courtroom shooting and the broader safety concerns raised for judges, prosecutors, and defense counsel in similar civil cases.[2][5][6]

• Ongoing legal status: As of late May 2026, White remained in custody on the murder-related charges, with ongoing court proceedings and hearings related to the incident and her prior civil litigation.
