The Iowa high school principal who was shot and wounded while trying to protect his students during a school shooting earlier this month has died from his injuries, according to the school district.

Perry High School Principal Dan Marburger was among seven people injured in the Jan. 4 shooting. One student, 11-year-old sixth grader Ahmir Jolliff, was killed, authorities said.

The suspected shooter – a student at the high school – died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.

    What a fucking hero.

    For all the shit we give high school principals while we’re in school, they usually really care about the kids.

    My high school principal was actually a surprisingly decent guy. He let my girlfriend (now wife) put on a Christopher Durang play. Christopher Durang plays usually have gay themes, including the one she put on. But he thought it was really funny and he let her do it.

    This was in the 1990s.

    I still gave him shit, but I feel bad about it now.
