CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA. MAY 25, 2022
A felon with an extensive criminal history, Dennis Butler, pulled an AR-15 rifle out of his car and began firing indiscriminately into a crowded graduation party in front of an apartment complex when a local woman drew her concealed carry handgun and shot Butler dead, preventing a slaughter from taking place. An hour earlier, Butler had driven at high speeds around the area and was warned by event organizers to stop speeding at the crowded venue. People of all ages, including young children, were present at the graduation party. Butler later returned to the scene and began to shoot into the crowd when the watchful and alert bystander drew her own weapon and neutralized the threat immediately. Butler was pronounced dead on scene by emergency personnel. Nobody else was struck by Butler's gunfire.
