A man is in custody after a fatal shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, stemming from a dispute on Tuesday night.

According to Butler City Police, the incident involved a confrontation between Sean Williams, 37, and Christopher Waggett, 47, both local residents.

The events unfolded during a gathering at a residence in the 200 block of American Avenue.

Witnesses reported that tensions escalated when a comment upset the mother of Williams’ girlfriend, prompting Waggett to intervene and restrain her.

This led to a physical altercation between Waggett and Williams. During the struggle, Waggett either struck a bottle over Williams’ head or knocked it out of his hand, according to witness statements.

He was taken into custody and transported to Butler County Prison.
