He faced an active shooter and according to the report, not only did he draw attention away from students and to himself which saved lives but he did it multiple times. He talked to the shooter and called him by name, each time he engaged the shooter he gave students the chance to escape. The report released today goes on to detail how Principal Marburger could have escaped with his life but chose to remain behind so others would be safe. Please say his name today so we can remember a true hero.</p><p>You can view the press conference about the final report here <a href="https://www.desmoinesregister.com/videos/news/2024/10/18/perry-high-school-shooting-summary-says-suspect-dylan-butler-acted-alone/75730942007/">Perry High School Shooting</a>.</p><h2>Photos of The Iowa Hawkeyes Vs.

Iowa has a Hero in its Midst, Please Say His Name

When I was in the fire department I joined because I wanted to ride the ambulance and help my community in that way. Emergency 51 sparked my interest and I never looked back. I saw a lot of stuff and some of it I wish I hadn't. Shootings were one of those things. Sometimes it was an accident and others not. I've shared before that our ambulance was hit by random gunfire and it's very unnerving. I would like to think I could but I'm not sure I could face an active shooter but that's exactly what Dan Marburger did.
