A gunman opened fire inside a small-town Iowa high school early Thursday as students prepared to start their first day of classes back from winter break, killing one person and wounding five others, authorities said.
Seventeen-year-old student Dylan Butler is believed to have shot and killed a sixth grader inside Perry High school, and wounded four high school students and an administrator, according to Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Asst. Director Mitch Mortvedt.
It’s not yet clear why the sixth grader, who attended classes in the adjoining middle school, was in the building at the time of the shooting, but it may have been to attend a breakfast program for multiple grade levels, Mortvedt said.
