Charleston police reported that a man was killed by a woman armed with a handgun after he opened fire on a crowd with an AR-15. The shooter was a convicted felon who could not legally own a firearm.
Dennis Butler, 37, has been identified as the now deceased gunman. He was known to law enforcement and has been convicted of multiple felonies.

“As a young police officer, I was a rookie and had about a year on, one of the most knocked-down dragged out fights was with Mr. Butler and he had a firearm on him at that time in 2006,” Charleston Police Chief Tyke Hunt told MetroNews on Thursday.

Butler was shot and killed after firing at a group of people attending a birthday/graduation party at an apartment complex in West Virginia’s capital on Wednesday night. The gunman was then reportedly shot and killed by a woman who was licensed to carry.

“It looks like the person who fired upon Mr. Butler does not have any reason to prohibit them from carrying a firearm lawfully,” Hunt said.

“She is a member of the community who was carrying her firearm lawfully, and instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat, and saved several lives last night,” another Charleston Police Department spokesman said. “I credit her for being vigilant. Watching him get out, engaging the threat, and stopping it.”

Butler was approached by law enforcement earlier in the evening after speeding through an apartment complex where children were playing. He was not detained and soon left the apartment complex in a vehicle only to return with a rifle not long after leaving.

“He returned with a firearm, an AR style rifle, and fired in the direction of the crowd,” Hunt said. The Charleston Police Chief added that it is unknown whether he intended to fire on the crowd or a specific person.

“We are still investigating the direction of the firearm and where the rounds went, all the trajectory, and pulling video from that,” he said.

The investigation has been turned over to the Kanawha County Prosecutor’s Office for review, MetroNews reported.

Good shooting on her part. She solved the problem.

And in a change of pace, the perp was not listed as "the victim".

I can't find any information about the woman who saved the day, but here's the upstanding citizen, er victim, er miscreant, who is no longer with us.

Definitely saved lives and work for my colleagues.

The Daily Mail covered this story decently:

“A West Virginia woman is being hailed a hero for using her legally-owned pistol to shoot and kill a criminal armed with an AR-15 after he opened fire at a graduation party last week.
<snip>
The gunman was Dennis Butler, a 37-year-old criminal who had already been cautioned for speeding near children when he drove to the graduation party that was being held outside at the Vista View Apartment Complex in Charleston, West Virginia.
<snip>
The woman then pulled her legally-owned gun out of her purse and shot and killed him. At a press conference on Thursday, Charleston Chief of Detectives Tony Hazelett praised the woman as a hero. 

'Instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night,' he said.

'The other side of the gun debate,' said one advocate on social media. Others questioned why the story hadn't received attention.

'A big enough story to make the Saudi Gazette but I found nothing from New York Times, CNN or MSNBC. Yes, media bias is real... on both sides,' said another…

Good for her, well done. Of course the media always has to throw in an "AR 15" like that makes a gun evil.

That's the comical aspect of this. Would it somehow have been less dangerous or problematic if the now room temp moron had opened fire with a Glock 17 and a 30 round mag? The media is disgusting in their bias.

simple answer is one unknown bad guy died and a whole lot of other people didn't and that is not news.

Vultures are selective.
