A Woman shot and killed a 37-year-old man who had opened fire with a semi-automatic weapon on a crowd at a party in Charleston, West Virginia, USA.
Dennis Butler, who had a heavy criminal record, was killed after targeting a group of about 40 people attending a birthday party.
According to a police spokesman, the woman's quick reaction saved lives and prevented a mass shooting.
The new incident comes just 24 hours after the Texas school massacre and the debate that has reopened over gun violence in the US. According to reports, the 37-year-old man initially drove his vehicle through the area on Wednesday afternoon when he was told to slow down because children were playing.
He then returned armed with an AR-15 rifle and opened fire from his vehicle on the crowd at the party.
A passing woman who was armed shot and killed him and, according to a police spokesman, had not previously been a concern to authorities.
The woman remained at the scene after the shooting and cooperated with investigators and, according to police, no charges will be filed against her.
