A new video of the suspect in the Iowa school shooting on Thursday shows him standing in, what is presumed to be a bathroom at the school, the morning of the shooting.
The Associated Press reported on Thursday afternoon that a sixth grader has died, and five others were hurt during the shooting. Among those injured was the school principal of over 25 years.
WHO13 reported that the suspect, who they identified as 17-year-old Dylan Butler, was a student at Perry High School when he opened fire around 7:37 a.m. Central Time on the first day of classes after winter break.
The music in the video was removed due to copyright, but the lyrics, from the song called “Stray Bullet” by KMFDM read, “I am your holy totem, I am your sick taboo, radical and radiant, Im your nightmare coming true.” The music played behind the video with the added text on the screen reading, “now we wait.”
Butler was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A new video of the suspect in the Iowa school shooting on Thursday shows him standing in, what is presumed to be a bathroom at the school, the morning of the shooting.
He was found with the not-yet detonated improvised explosive device, which cops described as “rudimentary.”
The teenager is believed to have acted alone, though his motive remains unclear.
The attack came on the first day back in class after winter break, but Butler opened fire before the opening bell when “very few students and faculty” were in the building, Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante said at a press conference in the aftermath of the shooting.
