    • Abstract:
      A 17-year-old high school student in Perry, Iowa, shot and killed a sixth-grade student and injured five others before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The victims included one school administrator and four students, with one victim in critical condition. Perry is a rural community with about 8,000 residents located 40 miles northwest of Des Moines. This incident marks the fourth school shooting in 2024, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database, which has seen a rise in gun incidents at schools over the past decade.
