Iowa principal dies days after he "put himself in harm's way" to protect Perry High School students, officials say

An Iowa principal who was shot while trying to protect students has died, Gov. Kim Reynolds said Sunday.

Principal Dan Marburger was critically wounded during the Jan. 4 attack when a 17-year-old shooter opened fire at Perry High School, officials said. A student was killed and several others were injured during the shooting. 

"Dan courageously put himself in harm's way to protect his students, and ultimately gave his own life to save them," Reynolds said. "He will forever be remembered for his selfless and heroic actions."
