Perry High School principal dies from wounds sustained in shooting
Fred Rogers, of Mister Rogers fame, once famously said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'” Dan Marburger was one of those helpers. Marburger was the principal of Perry High School in Iowa when a 17-year-old student opened fire in the school earlier this month. Reports…

Perry High School Mass Shooting
Dylan Butler, 17, was named as the gunman who attacked Perry High School in Iowa on Jan 3rd 2024 as students returned from their Christmas break. His former classmates, sisters Yesenia Roeder and Khamya Hall, both 17, said that Butler had been bullied relentlessly since elementary school. They added that the bullying had escalated recently, when his younger sister started getting picked on, too. Officials at the school didn’t intervene, they said, and that was “the last straw” for the shooter. “He was hurting. He got tired. He got tired of the bullying. He got tired of the harassment,” Yesenia Roeder Hall said. Police said the suspect’s motive was being investigated and authorities were looking into “a number of social media posts” he made around the time of the shooting. Moments before the shooting, Butler, who was found dead at the scene, posted a video on TikTok captioned “now we wait” and the song “Stray Bullet” by the German band KMFDM accompanied it. Butler died by suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound before being arrested. The sixth-grade student killed was identified as 11-year-old Ahmir Jolliff. Jolliff's cause of death was determined to be three gunshot wounds from the shooter. The high school’s principal, two more staff members and four students were also injured during the shooting, which started in the cafeteria before class started that Wednesday around 7:30 a.m. Authorities had previously reported five injured people aside from the deceased, but that number has since been increased to seven people who “received wounds or injuries of varying degree” during the shooting, according to DPS’ Division of Criminal Investigation.

The Perry High School shooting was nothing new, and neither were the responses
One week. We couldn’t go one week into the new year without a school shooting happening. If that doesn’t sum us up as a country, I don’t know what does. As you may have heard, there was a school shooting this past Thursday at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa. This would have been the first day back for students after the holiday break. While the school was serving breakfast to some students…
