00:04 were injured during a shooting in a school building in Perry, Iowa, Thursday morning.
00:09 The suspect, a 17-year-old teenager, was found with an injury he himself inflicted.
00:15 An American 17-year-old high school student opened fire, Thursday, January 4 in the morning,
00:21 in his Iowa school, killing a high school student and injuring five other people,
00:25 local authorities announced.
00:26 The shooter was found with an injury he himself inflicted, said
00:31 a local official during a press conference.
00:35 This expression is commonly used to indicate that a shooter committed suicide but the authorities
00:40 have not clearly said if he was dead, as several American media have claimed.
00:44 Requested by the France Press agency, AFP, the sheriff's services refused to confirm it.
00:50 The events took place in the small town of Perry, about 60 kilometers from Des Moines,
00:56 the state capital.
00:57 The high school student had two guns, a shotgun and a handgun, said Mitch Mortved.
01:03 "There are six victims, one of whom is dead.
01:06 This person was a high school student," he added.
01:09 "Four of the injured people are students, the fifth is part of the administration,"
01:15 he said.
01:16 The assailant also posted a number of posts on social networks around
01:20 the time of the shooting, he continued, without any clarification on their content.
01:25 "We saw glass everywhere, blood on the ground," a student said.
01:30 Sheriff Adam Infante had rather indicated that the presence of a shooter had been reported
01:34 around 7.37 local time.
01:36 "The police arrived in seven minutes and located several victims per bullet," he said.
01:42 Fortunately, there were very few high school students and teachers in the establishment
01:46 because of their morning classes, and the classes had not yet started, he added.
01:50 According to local media, it was the first day of resumption after the winter holidays.
01:55 The images of the establishment showed a strong police presence.
01:59 A high school student, Ava Augustus, told what she saw of the drama on the local WHO 13 channel.
02:06 "We heard 'he is on the ground, you can take out the running guns and we saw glass
02:11 everywhere, blood on the ground,' "she said.
02:14 Jody Kurt, whose beautiful son was shot by a bullet, told the KCCI local channel
02:19 that it was "an absolute nightmare."
02:20 The shootings, a recurrent plague in the United States.
02:25 These shots occurred as the state of Iowa was about to give, on January 15, the
02:29 coup d'envoi of the Republican Party's primary season during the vote of its voters
02:33 in small neighborhood assemblies, the ECOCUS.
02:36 With more firearms than inhabitants, the United States displays the highest mortality rate
02:41 per firearm in all developed countries.
02:43 The shootings are a recurring plague that successive governments have so far
02:48 been powerless to curb, because many Americans remain very attached to their weapons.
02:52 Schools and high schools are regularly the scene of shootings in the country.
02:56 In May 2022, a man had killed 19 students and two teachers in the primary school
03:02 Rob in Duvald City, Texas.
03:04 And in February 2018, a former student from Parkland High School, in Florida, had shot
03:10 14 students and 3 adults in a few minutes, armed with a semi-automatic rifle.
03:14 He was sentenced to life in prison.
03:17 American President Joe Biden called on July 4, the day of the American National Holiday,
03:23 to end the epidemic of firearms violence, after a wave of shootings and a
03:28 day-to-day shooting after a gunfight occurred during a parade.
