"Tragedy at Perry High: Community Mourns as Student Recalls Deadly School Shooting"

A school shooting at Perry High School in Iowa resulted in the death of a sixth grader and injuries to five others, including the school's principal. The 17-year-old gunman, Dylan Butler, was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and an explosive device was safely disarmed by authorities. The incident occurred before classes started, during a breakfast program, and is one of several mass shootings in the U.S. this year. The community held a vigil, and the state governor has pledged to seek answers to prevent future tragedies. Schools in the district will be closed for counseling services.
