The Perry High School principal shot and injured by a student Thursday morning has ties to the Pella community. Dan Marburger was attacked by 17 year old Dylan Butler. Marburger was one of six total victims, including four other students who were hurt and a sixth grader who was killed.

Marburger played football for Ron Schipper at Central College and won the P.H. Kuyper Award in his senior season. His son Seth is currently a special education teacher at Lincoln Elementary and served for several years as an assistant coach for Jeff McMartin. Dan is expected to survive after undergoing surgery at a Des Moines area hospital.
