Fugitive Alabama corrections officer Vicky White and capital murder suspect Casey Cole White were planning to have a shootout with police officers before he was captured and she shot herself dead, according to authorities.
Speaking at a press conference in Indiana on Tuesday, Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding said that the jailhouse lovers “wanted to engage in a shootout with law enforcement” but they were rammed off the road by officers, preventing them from carrying out their plan.
A trove of weapons including at least four handguns, a semiautomatic gun and an AR-15 were found inside their vehicle, the sheriff said. Around $29,000 in cash and multiple red and blonde wigs were also recovered.
White and Ms White were tracked down to Evansville, Indiana, and taken into custody following a brief car chase on Monday. While the 38-year-old inmate surrendered to authorities on the scene, Ms White, 56, was rushed to hospital with a gunshot wound to the head, according to officials. She died from her injuries just after 7pm and investigators believe she shot herself.

... a "shootout with police" when they catch you? That always goes well... you'd think, being close to jails/police, they might have expected to be caught. Maybe her retirement was mandatory and she wouldn't be able to hook up with him anymore - so she decided on a last binge?
