A high school principal in Iowa who was critically wounded in a school shooting while protecting students earlier this month has died, according to his family.
Perry High School Principal Dan Marburger died Sunday, his family announced on a GoFundMe page. Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home & Crematory confirmed the death to The Associated Press.
“Although the news has not fully set in yet, Dan Marburger gave the ultimate sacrifice,” the GoFundMe page said. “After 10 days, he lost his battle and this tragedy took his life.”
The shooting unfolded in the cafeteria at Perry High School just after 7:30 a.m. on Jan. 4, the first day students returned from winter break.
