Potential mass shooting stopped by good girl with a gun.
According to the release from the Charleston Police Department, Dennis Butler, 37, of Charleston was found around 10:45pm Wednesday with multiple gunshot wounds at an apartment complex on Renaissance Circle.
Officers say their investigation found that Butler was approached earlier Wednesday and confronted about speeding through the apartment complex while children were playing.
The report says Butler left the area, but returned a short time later with an AR 15 style rifle and started shooting at people attending a party.
Officers say a party goer drew a pistol, fired at Butler and fatally wounded him.
Charleston police say no one else was injured, and that several witnesses and the person who fired at Butler waited for police to arrive and cooperated with their investigation.
The Kanawha County Prosecutor’s office is investigating. At this point there are no charges filed.
