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.”
