Moments before a 17-year-old unleashed gunfire at Iowa’s Perry High School, killing a sixth grader and wounding five other people, the student is believed to have posted a foreboding TikTok video.
On the morning shooter Dylan Butler opened fire, a TikTok post believed to be from the shooter shows him the inside a school bathroom posing with a blue duffel bag, captioned: “Now we wait.”
The song “Stray Bullet,” by the German band KMFDM, accompanies the post, which has been removed from the platform; the student gunmen who carried out the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado also had cited the group’s lyrics, CNN has reported.
Butler – who also died amid Thursday’s horror, a law enforcement official told CNN – “made a number of social media posts in and around the time of the shooting,” said Mitch Mortvedt, assistant director of the Iowa Department of Public Safety Division of Criminal Investigation. “Law enforcement are working to secure those pieces of evidence,” he added.
Terrific. Now we have people with dreams of being ‘influencers’ gaining notoriety by attempting mass murder.
…now?
Homie that’s been the problem for like a decade.
There was an attempt at a mass shooting at a high school near me by a girl hoping to be the first female school shooter. Luckily her friend called her parents who found the gun and ammo in her closet or stray bullets would have hit the front of my house.
I’m glad your door is safe.
She would not have been the first

Eww you might’ve got child blood on your property, lowering its value.
Have we had a mass shooter release a message online like this moments before shooting before? I honestly don’t know.

You are absolutely right. I totally forgot about that.

Numerous.
Killers love their manifestos.
Posting ominous stuff on social media before committing a mass shooting has been happening for decades. This is nothing new.
I could see this on a Season 2 of Squid Game.
