A 17-year-old student opened fire at Perry Middle and High School in Iowa on Thursday morning.
The perpetrator, Dylan Butler, killed a sixth-grade student and injured five others before taking his own life. An explosive device was also discovered near the school.
Butler was reportedly armed with a shotgun and a handgun and acted alone, according to authorities. Before the shooting, he posted a message on TikTok that said, “Now we wait.” His account was taken down after the incident.
Butler’s shooting took place before the opening bell, which led to minimal casualties. He was also reported to be severely bullied by many in the community.
Among those injured was the school principal.
“Our hearts break to hear of this kind of violence that affects so many people, including many in our community. Our thoughts will also be with the entire Perry community as they grieve through this traumatic event.
