He added that the woman would not be charged.<\/p>\n<p>No one else was injured after Dennis Butler, 37, started firing into the crowd gathered in in a grassy area near an apartment complex in Charleston, according to police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a graduation party, a party with kids,\u201d Hazelett said at a press conference. \u201cSo obviously somebody just graduated high school and another birthday party. We could have had a casualty shooting there.\u201d He estimated between 30 to 40 people attended the parties.<\/p>\n<p>Hazelett said Butler \u201cwas at the apartment complex earlier. He was approached about speeding while there was a birthday party\/graduation party going on.\u201d He said that Butler did have an \u201cextensive criminal history,\u201d according to WCHS.<\/p>\n<p>Butler later returned in his vehicle and parked near the party. Hazelett noted that roughly 30 minutes passed between the time Butler left and then returned. He said, \u201cHe got in the back seat and pulled out an AR-style rifle and started firing into the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hazelett stated that the woman firing her gun was lawfully carrying her firearm and was not a member of law enforcement, just a \u201cmember of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were multiple gunshot wounds,\u201d Hazelett stated. \u201cShe quickly engaged him and returned fire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, I credit her with being vigilant; watched him get out, engaged the threat, stopped him,\u201d Hazelett said.<\/p>\n<p>Gesturing to the map of the area of the shooting, Hazelett stated, \u201cIf you see anything in this area, feel free to call. There\u2019s no charge for calling 911; that\u2019s what we\u2019re her to do. We\u2019re here to respond to calls and to take calls. I\u2019d rather it be a false call than a real call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you think you see a gun, call,\u201d he advised. \u201cWe\u2019ll respond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The woman, joined by several witnesses, waited for police to arrive after the shooting; all said they would cooperate with any investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe did the right thing. I don\u2019t know if any other person would have done that,\u201d Hazelett concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One intrepid woman who was a bystander near an area where a party was being held in West Virginia took matters into her own hands when a man pulled out an AR-15-style rifle and started shooting at partygoers, according to police.
