"Iowa Principal's Heroic Distraction Attempt During Deadly Perry School Shooting"

Dan Marburger, the principal of Perry High School in Iowa, was shot while attempting to distract an armed student so others could escape during a school shooting. His daughter described him as a protective figure who would "put himself in harm's way" for his students and staff. The shooter, 17-year-old Dylan Butler, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after injuring five and killing a sixth-grade student. Marburger, who has a long history of supporting his school community, is currently stable after surgery. The investigation into the shooting and the motive behind it is ongoing.
