Dylan Butler acted alone the morning of Jan. 4, 2024, when he shot and killed two people — Principal Dan Marburger and 11-year-old Ahmir Jolliff — and injured six others inside a Perry school. The gun used was a Remington 870 shotgun, and its origin remains unknown, according to a new report released today by Dallas County Attorney Jeannine Ritchie.As Butler acted individually, there are no criminal charges being pursued, Ritchie said in the press release. The investigation concludes that there were no clear signs or statements of Butler's intention that day. "The evidence suggests his actions that morning were indiscriminate and driven by a desire to commit suicide with the hostile intent of taking others with him," Ritchie said.In total, Butler fired 23 shots, the report says, and police responded less than three minutes after an alarm was activated that went straight to the Dallas County Communications Center. Butler died from a self-inflicted gunshot prior to any contact with law enforcement.Assistant Principal Brad Snowgren activated the School Emergency Alert Response System, which alerts the Dallas County Communication Center, 10 seconds after the first shot and 25 seconds before the first 911 call. Marburger twice stopped and asked Butler to stop shooting. The second time he talked to Butler, he was near an exit. He was shot and able to leave the building on his own. Butler continued firing, moving through the school and firing at staff members, into secured classrooms and down vacant hallways. Two staff members, including one who had run back into the school after the shooting began to help evacuate, were hit by gunfire.Four minutes and 21 seconds elapsed between Butler's first shot and the shot that ended his own life.There were more than 50 students and staff in the commons area when Butler began firing. Most, including four injured students, were able to flee the school on their own."The immediate self-evacuation, secure sheltering and selfless acts of students and staff to lead others to safety mitigated the number of injuries and deaths," the report says. The report says more than 15 students and staff took shelter in safe and secure spaces in the school building and none were injured.
