The Iowa high school principal who was shot and wounded while trying to protect his students during a school shooting earlier this month has died from his injuries, according to the school district.
Perry High School Principal Dan Marburger was among seven people injured in the Jan. 4 shooting. One student, 11-year-old sixth grader Ahmir Jolliff, was killed, authorities said.
The suspected shooter – a student at the high school – died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
I didn’t even hear about this school shooting
The coverage seemed very low key compared to usual. I don’t know what to make of that.
It’s barely even news anymore. I’m guessing there just wasn’t that high of a body count?
Boringdystopia. Not getting onto the news because your school shooting didn’t make the cut.
That’s what those 8 year olds get for not being photogenic enough.
It’s macabre, but maybe kids will think twice about doing it now if they know they might not even make the national news.
Small body count, bullied white male - it’s too boring.
And in Iowa :(
What a fucked up reality.
Cause all the Republicans currently campaigning in Iowa dont give a fuck about school shootings.
Do you think it’s bc of the other things going on in Iowa right now? The Iowa quota may be full.:-P
Because it’s so common it’s hardly even news worthy. School shootings are just a very common occurrence here.
This angers me so much as a parent.
It angers me as a human.
This is so sick and I hate myself for thinking this, but-
We took my daughter out of school last year and put her in online school because she was being severely bullied.
And after we did it, one of my first thoughts was, “well, at least she won’t be in a school shooting.”
I know it’s still rare even though it happens in the U.S. more than anywhere else, but it still scares me.
I shouldn’t have to worry about it because the spoiled dicks want their toys.
I don’t disagree. No one should have to worry about sending their kids to school.
rightly so. the government is failing to protect its citizens from easily preventable dangers.
as long as politicians get kickbacks from munition sales, nothing will change.
We’re a small town, I’m not really surprised. But be happy you don’t have to hear all of the conspiracy theories about the shooting that happened a mile from you, its maddening.
