U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and President Joe Biden were briefed on the shooting in Washington.

The incident took place prior to Iowa’s first-ever national presidential caucuses on January 15. Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate, cancelled his planned 9 a.m. campaign event in Perry, which is around 1 1/2 miles (2 kilometres) from the school in order to have a private conversation and prayer with the locals.

Gun safety advocates have always demanded tougher gun legislation in response to mass shootings in the United States, and Thursday’s did so within hours. However, many Republicans have not been sold on that premise, especially in rural, GOP-leaning areas like Iowa.

Iowa will no longer need a permit to buy a handgun or carry one in public as of July 2021, but those who do so will still need to submit to a background check.

The shooting, according to Ramaswamy, is indicative of a “psychological sickness” in the nation. In an interview with the Des Moines Register and NBC News, GOP challenger and governor of Florida Ron DeSantis stated that gun violence “is more of a local and state issue” in Des Moines.

The 1,785-student Perry Community School District includes the high school. Compared to the state of Iowa, Perry is more diversified. According to census data, 31% of its citizens identify as Hispanic, compared to fewer than 7% of the state’s total. According to those statistics, around 19% of the town’s citizens were foreign-born.

At 7:37 a.m. on Thursday, there was a report of an active shooter, and according to the authorities, police responded minutes later. The complex was encircled by emergency vehicles.

According to Mortvedt, “officers swiftly tried to identify the source of the threat and discovered what appeared to be the shooter with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

Senior Rachael Kares, 18, was finishing up jazz band rehearsal when she and her friends heard four separate gunshots.

“Everyone simply leaped,” Kares remarked. “My band instructor glared at us and exclaimed, ‘Leap!'” Thus, we took off running.

Ava Augustus, a senior at Perry High School, said she heard three gunshots while waiting for a counselor in an office. She and the others blocked the entrance and prepared to throw objects if needed because they were unable to escape through the little window. “Then, we hear, ‘He’s down.'” “You are free to leave,” Augustus cried. “And as I run, glass is all over the place, and there is blood on the ground.” When I arrive to my car, they are removing a female who was shot in the leg from the theatre. A spokesman for Iowa Methodist Medical Canter in Des Moines confirmed that three gunshot victims were receiving treatment there. According to a Mercy One Des Moines Medical Canter spokesman, more patients were sent to another hospital. According to Mortvedt, one patient was in critical condition, while the other patients’ conditions were stable and the injuries didn’t seem to be life-threatening. Thursday night, hundreds of people flocked to a park where students had been sent to be reunited with their families following the killing, for a candlelight prayer vigil. They listened to pastors of various religions and heard a message of hope in both Spanish and English while bundled up against the bitter cold. The high school will be closed on Friday, according to a post on its Facebook page, but counselling services would still be available for staff, students, and community members. Governor Kim Reynolds declared, “This senseless tragedy has shaken our entire state to its core.”

According to Mortivedt, officials are also investigating the suspect’s Dylan Butler motive and “a number of social media posts” he made around the time of the shooting. Dylan Butler’s acquaintances are being questioned by federal and state authorities, according to a law enforcement person briefed on the case, and Butler’s social media accounts, including posts on Reddit and TikTok, are being examined. Dylan Butler shared a picture of himself inside Perry High School’s restroom on TikTok just before Thursday’s shooting, according to the official. The German band KMFDM’s song “Stray Bullet” was playing as the image with the caption, “now we wait.” The official, who spoke to AP under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the specifics of the investigation, said that investigators had also discovered further images Butler posted in which he was seen posing with firearms. Along with their mother Alita, sisters Yesenia Roeder and Khamya Hall, both 17, claimed that Butler had been the target of constant bullying since elementary school. However, things suddenly became worse when Butler’s younger sister began to be teased as well. Butler added that his parents’ discussion of it with the school was the “final straw.” “He was in pain.” He grew weary. He became weary of the intimidation. He became weary of the abuse,” 17-year-old Yesenia Roeder Hall remarked. Was shooting up the school a wise decision? No. God, no. Clark Wicks, the superintendent of Perry Community Schools, did not pick up calls on Thursday, and an email requesting comment was not promptly replied. Neither did school board members.
Kares and numerous others hurried past the football field while shouts of “Leave! Leave!” could be heard. She claimed to have heard more shots, but she was unsure of the exact number. Her primary concern was returning home to her three-year-old son. According to his father, Kevin Shelley, Zander Shelley, 15, was in a hallway when he heard gunshots and quickly ran into a classroom. After getting grazed twice, Zander fled to the classroom and texted his dad. Garbage truck driver Kevin Shelley informed his supervisor that he had to leave. He remarked, “It was the most scared I’ve ever been in my entire life.” Later, he shared a picture of his son receiving treatment at Methodist Medical Center on Facebook, stating that the youngster was doing well. “I am still shaking, and even though I don’t show it, I’m not OK,” he continued. ___ Fingerhut provided updates from Iowa’s Sioux City.
