"We are helping authorities and will continue to help to provide answers to the question of why our son committed this senseless crime," part of the statement says.
Jack and Erin Butler released a public statement Monday afternoon, four days after their son killed one person and wounded seven others in the Perry school shooting. In part, it reads: "Perry is our home and beloved community. We would never wish the harm and pain that Dylan’s actions caused on anyone and we could not have imagined that Dylan would carry out such a heinous act. Our family has to mourn and bury our son, and live with this terrible legacy."
The parents of the 17-year-old who killed a sixth grader and wounded seven others in a shooting at his small-town Iowa high school last week said in a statement Monday that they “had no inkling he intended the horrible violence he was about to inflict.”
