"Dan lost his battle. He fought hard and gave us 10 days that we will treasure forever," said Dan's wife, Elizabeth Marburger, according to the Associated Press.
On January 4, Dylan Butler, 17, committed a mass shooting in early morning hours at Perry High School, killing a 6th grade student and injuring others. The student was at the high school for the free breakfast program. Butler used he/they pronouns and identified as gender fluid. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
After Marburger had been shot, the State Department of Public Safety released a statement and said that the principal "acted selflessly and placed himself in harm's way in an apparent effort to protect his students."
Clark Wicks, the school's superintendent, called Marburger a "hero" and said that his actions that day protected students by allowing them to escape the gunman.
Marburger had been the principal of Perry High School since 1995.
Butler had also shot and killed Ahmir Jolliff, 11, who was in the sixth grade. According to authorities, Jolliff was shot three times.
After it had been revealed that Butler identified as "genderfluid," corporate media outlets suggested he carried out the attack because he had been "relentlessly" bullied since childhood.
