Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante: Officers “located multiple gunshot victims” at Perry High School in Iowa.
Sheriff Adam Infante of Dallas County, Iowa, told the press that an active shooter was at Perry High School at “approximately 7:37 am.” It was the student body’s first day back after winter break. Two gunshot victims were taken to a hospital 40 miles away in Des Moines, and the gunman was found dead of a gunshot that was believed to be self-inflicted. The shootings occurred before school started when there were “very few students and faculty in the building.”
Sheriff Infante said he could not give details yet on the number of people injured, the identity of the shooter, whether he was a student, or whether any of the victims died. “We're still unclear exactly how many are injured or what the extent of those are but we're working on that right now,” he said. “There is no further danger to the public.”
Further information is expected later in the afternoon.
