The SUV stopped in Cleburne County and a standoff ensued, an Alabama Law Enforcement Agency spokesman said.
The suspect, who has not been named, then reached into the backseat to grab a gun and shot Mrs Barnett before shooting herself.
Both women died from gunshot wounds and could not be saved by authorities who approached the vehicle, police confirmed.
