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.
Fucking hero. Law enforcement in Uvalde should take notes.
They did, that’s why they hid.
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.
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.
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.
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.
After people went through his social media, there were hints he may have been leaning towards coming out as trans. News then went quiet about this one.
His daughter said he tried to talk the shooter down while protecting others. Chokes me up as a fellow Iowa teacher. I identify with that so much. Never met him, but I respect the hell out of him.
And yet still no gun control.
The American govt will let every last student die before regulating guns.
They protected their debt, what more do you want?
He doesn’t look like a hero but he is.
Well, yes. The heroes are generally the average people who don’t do stuff for attention. The “pretty” ones who dress themselves up and try to get media attention are generally the villains.
A brave man trying to protect his kids. I don’t want to hear shit about teachers for at least a week.
Is this the death where trump said, “Get over it”?
Yes. Not to defend him … I would never, but it was more than just get over it. Still fucking horrible.

Kim Reynolds can fuck herself.
“Nothing can be done, says only country where this happens regularly”
What a fucking hero.
For all the shit we give high school principals while we’re in school, they usually really care about the kids.
My high school principal was actually a surprisingly decent guy. He let my girlfriend (now wife) put on a Christopher Durang play. Christopher Durang plays usually have gay themes, including the one she put on. But he thought it was really funny and he let her do it.
This was in the 1990s.
I still gave him shit, but I feel bad about it now.
RIP Hero. There is nothing more honorable than protecting the kids. Rest well Dan.
muricaaaaaaaa!!!11!!1!!!
Read the room dammit. The guy was an American as well.
This is the tragic story of an American, trying to be a hero, arguably succeeding who knows how many other people would have died, however long that guy took.
Each Second is another door to lock
This is also a story about America’s senseless relationship with firearms and the frequent costs that incurs innocent people every year.

Sounds like the Perry HIgh School is about to be renamed the Marburger High School.
Damn, the news couldn’t have put his name in the title. What a shit job. Rest easy Dan.
