Moments later, Butler arrived back at the property and started firing his weapon. However, the unidentified woman pulled out her registered pistol and fatally shot Charleston.

Charleston PD Chief of Detectives Tony Hazelette said during a press conference that the woman “saved several lives” last night and cooperated with police officers. Officers didn’t file any charges for the shooting.

“Instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night.”

As reported by WSAZ, Butler had an extensive criminal history prior to the shooting. After news of the vase was released, the woman was hailed as a hero due to her swift action in taking down Butler as the situation could’ve potentially become more dangerous for everyone involved.
