North Carolina lawyer Patrick White was praised for trying to stop accused shooter Francisco Cazarin Sanchez, who allegedly opened fire at the law firm, killing White and himself.
An unnamed source within the firm told ABC News that Sanchez and his wife had been in mediation at the law firm for six hours that day and that it was going well. The firm was close to finalizing a settlement that would have the couple pocketing a seven-figure sum related to an automobile accident.
The attorneys left Sanchez and his wife alone in a room at their request to discuss the details privately. Minutes later, Sanchez entered the nearby room where the attorneys were gathered and,"with no explanation whatsoever," then"pulled out a revolver and started firing at people," the source said.
