CHARLESTON, W.VA. — Police say a woman's actions may have prevented a mass casualty event following
an altercation about a man speeding through a neighborhood.

"She did the right thing. I don't know if any other person would have done that," said Lt. Tony Hazelett with the
Charleston Police Department.

Charleston police said it all started when 37-year-old Dennis Butler was speeding up and down a parking lot
inside the Vista View apartments.

He was approached by people attending a graduation party and a birthday party, who asked him to slow down,
as children were playing.

Witnesses said Butler seemed agitated and left but returned to the complex shortly after, armed with an AR-15
style rifle, and started shooting at the crowd.

Police said a woman pulled out her pistol, shooting and killing him.

"This lady was carrying a lawful firearm," Hazelett said. "A law abiding citizen who stopped the threat of probably
20 or 30 people getting killed. She engaged the threat and stopped it. She didn't run from the threat, she engaged it.
Preventing a mass casualty event here in Charleston."

Police said Butler has an extensive criminal history.

In 2016, he was accused of shooting and pistol whipping a 19-year-old woman, but those charges were dismissed
because no witnesses testified at a pretrial hearing.


Court records showed Butler had been convicted of two felonies in the past, so he should have not had a gun.

Speaking about the woman, Hazelett said, "She's just 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."

Just watched a video by Colon Noir about this incident.  He mentioned that media like CNN and MSNBC didn't cover the incident.  Fox and the local stations covered it.

Even media outlets from other countries covered it. 

Of course CNN and MSNBC will downplay this incident because it's contrary to what they want to do in this country, and that is to help disarm the law-abiding citizens thru misinformation.

But an incident like the Uvalde shooting that happened earlier?  Damn, these media pukes are on it like flies on shit.

Sometimes you gotta know when to save your bullets.
