Gov. Reynolds provided the following statement on the one-year anniversary of the tragic shooting at Perry High School that killed two and injured six others:
“A year ago, the unthinkable happened here in Iowa. Time has passed, but the painful loss remains,” Governor Reynolds said. “Today, we remember Principal Dan Marburger—a hero who gave his life to save his students—and Ahmir Joliff—a bright young man with his whole life ahead of him. Kevin and I continue to pray for the injured, their families, the faculty, staff, students, and the entire Perry community that has valiantly grown stronger as they rebuild.”
