<p>A 17-year-old Dylan Butler unleashed shooting terror in a rural Iowa school on Thursday (Jan 4) morning, killing a sixth-grader and injuring five others, including the school's principal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Butler, a student at Perry High School, attacked the school at 7:47 am (local time) armed with two firearms and a makeshift explosive device, according to reports in the local media. The attack unfolded on the first day back to class after winter break and thus caught students and faculty off guard.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Butler is believed to have acted alone. The 17-year-old turned the gun on himself and was reportedly killed by gunshot&nbsp;before law enforcement could get a hold of him.&nbsp;</p>
