 Police in Perry, Iowa, say multiple people were shot at the city's high school Thursday, early on students' first day back in classes after their annual winter Breakpoint 2 gunshot victims were taken by ambulance to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in the state capital of Des Moines, about 40 miles southeast of Perry, a community of about 8,000 people. Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante said the shooting occurred before school was set to start, so there were few students and faculty in Perry High. School, the suspect in the shooting has died of what investigators believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity, the shooting occurred in the backdrop of the Iowa caucuses and not far from where Republican presidential candidates were campaigning.
