party.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to police, a female partygoer in the United States stopped a potential mass shooting when she pulled out her gun and fatally shot a man who had opened fire on a crowd with a semi-automatic rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly before returning to target the group of 30 to 40 people in Charleston, West Virginia, the gunman was asked to slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to police spokesman Tony Hazelett, the woman&#8217;s quick reaction saved lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes amid a national debate about guns in the aftermath of a school shooting in Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The suspect had passed through the area earlier that evening when he was told to slow down because children were playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He returned armed with an AR-15-style rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;She&#8217;s just a member of the community who was lawfully carrying her weapon,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;And instead of fleeing the threat, she confronted it and saved several lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the shooting, the woman remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to police, no charges will be filed against her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dennis Butler, a 37-year-old man with a lengthy criminal history, was discovered dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, according to police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Mr Hazelett, it is unclear how Butler obtained the weapon, which he was not legally allowed to carry as a convicted felon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes after a teen gunman killed 21 people at a Texas elementary school with a legally purchased AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In West Virginia, an armed female bystander kills a man who was firing at
