New details about Vicky White's final moments are emerging after the former corrections officer died on Monday following a police pursuit that ended with her suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Casey White surrendered and stated his 'wife' shot herself," the U.S Marshals Service said in a statement on Tuesday. There is no evidence the two were married.Vicky White was taken to the hospital after the incident and died later Monday evening, Vanderburgh County Coroner Steven Lockyear told WHNT.
