Perry High School Shooting: Teen's Planned Attack Sought Notoriety

Dylan Butler attempted to livestream the January attack, which resulted in two deaths and multiple injuries.

The 17-year-old shooter, Dylan Butler, acted alone and had planned the attack for weeks with the intent to gain fame and commit suicide.
Butler killed 11-year-old Ahmir Jolliff and Principal Dan Marburger, and wounded four other students and two staff members before taking his own life.
The investigation revealed Butler's fascination with violence and school shootings, with warning signs unrecognized by those around him.
Principal Marburger's actions during the shooting were deemed heroic, as he tried to stop Butler and save others despite being critically wounded.
Authorities found no evidence that anyone was aware of Butler's specific plans, though he had expressed violent interests online and in the community.
