Shooter killed – woman prevents carnage at birthday party

Date:

Amid the national debate in the US over guns after the Texas school shooting and another prom shooting in Philadelphia, another shooting erupted in West Virginia this week. A woman killed a man who opened fire at a crowd with a semi-automatic rifle.

It was Wednesday evening when Dennis Butler, 37, drove his car through the area surrounding the crime scene, according to BBC news channels. Butler was warned by passers-by to slow down because children were playing by the side of the road. Enraged, he returned a short time later, armed with an AR-15 rifle.

From his vehicle, the 37-year-old opened fire at the birthday party that took place outside.

Avoid mass shooting
A woman attending the celebration reacted quickly and shot the gunman dead. Police spokesman Tony Hazelett said the woman – who has no law enforcement experience – saved lives and may have prevented a mass shooting.

The woman remained at the scene after the shooting and is working with the investigators. Police say no charges will be filed against them. Hazelett said it is not yet clear how Butler got his hands on the gun, which as a convicted felon he was not allowed to carry.

After the massacre at a Texas school
Dramatic events are piling up in the US: After the massacre at a Texas school – which killed 19 children and two teachers – there was another shooting at a prom in Philadelphia on Friday. It seems as if the country is not coming to rest.
