I don't have those stats in my back pocket, it's my understanding that it's hard to track since the FBI clumps all shootings together, but I'll try to dig it up.
I believe that most research into this has been difficult since you have to sift through media reports, rather than using FBI or government stats (due to aforementioned issue).
In the meantime, here's one from end of May, not sure if it was well circulated at the time.

A woman in West Virginia fatally shot a man who began firing an AR-15-style rifle into a crowd of people that had gathered for a party, authorities said.
Dennis Butler, 37, was killed Wednesday night after he pulled out the rifle and began shooting at dozens of people attending the birthday-graduation party outside an apartment complex in the city of Charleston, police said in a statement.
The woman, who was attending the party, drew a pistol and fired, killing Butler, the statement said. No one at the party was injured.
