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.

    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.

      This is also a story about America’s senseless relationship with firearms and the frequent costs that incurs innocent people every year.
