The one you are not hearing about in Charleston.
Police said a woman who was lawfully carrying a pistol shot and killed a man who began shooting at a crowd of people Wednesday night in Charleston.
Dennis Butler was killed after allegedly shooting at dozens of people attending a graduation party Wednesday near the Vista View Apartment complex. No injuries were reported from those at the party.
Investigators said Butler was warned about speeding in the area with children present before he left. He later returned with an AR-15-style firearm and began firing into the crowd before he was shot and killed.
“Instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night,” Charleston Police Department Chief of Detectives Tony Hazelett said.
Officers did not go into detail, but said Butler did have an extensive criminal history.
Hazelett said no charges will be filed against the woman.

The proper placement of rounds on an active shooter by an armed civilian at the location solved the problem with a minimum possible amount of damage. The only law that can stop a mass killing from happening is the one that says “you can carry anytime, anywhere as the Second Amendment intended.”
Obama’s sphincter is not operating normally now. A law abiding second amendment woman stopped another known and investigated madman in the process of attempting to murder children (college age and younger people) participating in a graduation celebration.
These examples happen and media runs away because it teaches people the truth. Noone WANTS to shoot another human, but its the only way to stop these incidents. It still amazes me how UNobservant most are.

As true now as it was three centuries ago. Maybe even more so.
Sounds like it’s time to close the “Charleston loophole”.

Y’know, the one that lets mere citizens “lawfully” own and carry firearms for defense of self and others.

While we’re at it, what kind of racist, “right-wing extremist” law allows her to “stand her ground” and “shoot first” and not face criminal charges? I bet she even uses non-inclusive pronouns!
