Charlotte White, 57, female, was found dead on August 27, 2016, inside an Uptown Butte residence alongside 64-year-old Barbara Cunningham. Responding authorities reported both women had suffered gunshot wounds, and contemporaneous coverage identified the location as an Uptown home in Butte, Montana.
The date and basic circumstances were cataloged by national incident trackers and memorials, which list White among those lost to gun violence in Butte that day and place Cunningham at the same scene. These listings note the pair's names, ages, and the fatal nature of the shootings.
Local reporting indicated investigators found a note and initially regarded the case as an apparent suicide pact at a residence on LaPlatte Street, a detail that framed the deaths as self-inflicted rather than the result of an outside assailant. In that context, authorities did not announce any arrests, and there was no public identification of an outside suspect connected to the shooting.
