SHOCKING newly-released police footage shows cops pulling prison guard Vicky White from a flipped car after she shot herself in the head.
Cops said White, 56, pulled the trigger before she and her alleged lover Casey White were captured by officers in Evansville, Indiana on May 9 – ending an 11-day manhunt.

As officers closed in, Vicky appeared to say “Airbags are going off. Let’s get out and run”, according to 911 calls.
Cops rammed their vehicle, causing it to flip, and officers discussed how to retrieve Vicky from the wreckage.
Officers discussed smashing the windshield as a potential option before it was ruled out.
An officer asked if anyone had a “Hooligan” – which appeared to be a reference to a Halligan, a tool that’s normally used by officers to force entry into a property.
One cop is heard saying: “I’m gonna go for the gun” before pulling Vicky, who was unresponsive, out of the sunroof.
First responders then tried to administer aid to Vicky, who was lying on the grass.
Vicky died hours later in hospital and her body has since been returned to Alabama, News Nation reported.
Footage showed Casey being escorted to the Lauderdale County Courthouse by a group of officers in bulletproof vests.
He was seen in a yellow jumpsuit as he was led to his arraignment with his hands cuffed.

Reporters at the scene asked Casey questions, including if he ever loved Vicky or if he planned the escape. He was silent the entire time.
Cops revealed that he wanted a police shootout but those plans were foiled after their car was rammed.
Meanwhile, Vicky was facing up to 10 years behind bars for helping Casey.
Cops hoped Vicky would survive her injuries as Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said she had “answers to give”.
He said: “I had every bit of trust in Vicky White. She had been an exemplary employee.
“And what in the world provoked her, or prompted her, to pull something like this, I don’t know. I don’t know if we’ll ever know.”
The vehicle the two were driving in is believed to have been stolen in Tennessee and was driven nearly 175 miles to Evansville, investigators said.
CASH AND WEAPONS FOUND
Singleton revealed that wigs, weapons including an AR-15 rifle, a 9mm handgun and $29,000 worth of cash had been found.
He claimed that Casey White has shown “no remorse” over Vicky’s death.
Alleged lovers Casey and Vicky fled the Lauderdale County, Alabama, jail at around 9.30am on April 29.
Vicky was captured on surveillance video holding the door open for a shackled White.
A second-degree angle showed them getting into a marked patrol car and driving away.
The sheriff’s squad car seen in the surveillance video was found in the parking lot of a local shopping center.
On the day of the prison break, Vicky told her colleagues around 9am that she was taking White, a murder suspect, to the county courthouse for a mental health evaluation.
She also told her coworkers that she felt ill and planned to see a doctor afterward.
No one realized that the two were missing until around 3:30pm that afternoon.
Cops warned at the time that the two were considered dangerous and may be armed with an AR-15 rifle, handguns, and a shotgun.
