Armed female bystander kills man firing at party in West Virginia
A US woman has fatally shot a man who opened fire on a crowd of people with a semi-automatic rifle in Charleston, West Virginia.
Dennis Butler, a 37-year-old with an extensive criminal history, was killed after he targeted a group of around 40 people attending a birthday party.
Police spokesman Tony Hazelett said the woman's quick reaction saved lives and may have prevented a mass shooting.
It comes amid a national debate over guns after a school shooting in Texas.
Butler had driven by the area earlier on Wednesday evening when he was warned to slow down because children were playing.
He returned armed with an AR-15-type rifle and opened fire from his vehicle on the birthday-graduation party outside the apartment complex in the city.
A woman at a birthday party drew her pistol and left the gunman with multiple wounds, police say.

Talk about a liar. Are you paid to lie? Or are you just a true believer?
So much about your lie of the good guy with a gun is a myth....
DOH!
