The TikTok video shared by Dylan Butler just before his horrific shooting spree at Perry High School has drawn significant public scrutiny. A cryptic message accompanied the video, posted by the 17-year-old prior to the event that left one dead and five injured, including the school principal.
Butler reportedly arrived at Perry High School around 7:30 am, armed with a handgun and a shotgun. After the terrifying incident, the senior student, who was the shooter, allegedly turned the gun on himself. As the gunshots began, students fled in terror, seeking shelter in offices and classrooms.
News of the incident quickly spread, sparking widespread media coverage and public interest. Amidst this, Butler’s TikTok video and its chilling message have caught the public eye. We will delve further into the contents of this video and other images on his social media platforms.
Dylan Butler used TikTok, a popular social media platform, to post a disturbing video. This was shared from the school’s bathroom just moments before the shooting spree commenced on Thursday, at precisely 7:47 am.
The video captioned “Now we wait”, created an unsettling atmosphere. Adding to this was the background music, “Stray Bullet” by German rock band KMFDM. The song’s lyrics include phrases like “I’m your nightmare coming true, I am your worst enemy” and “Stray bullet, from the barrel of love”, which, in conjunction with the video, seemed to foreshadow the impending horror.
As part of their investigation, authorities uncovered additional photos of Butler posing with firearms, augmenting suspicions of his violent intentions. It is suspected that Butler intended to cause even more devastation, evidenced by an improvised explosive device found on him. This discovery implies that Butler intended to cause many more fatalities, thereby amplifying the tragedy of the incident.
The community has been left reeling, struggling to comprehend this shocking act of violence.
It has emerged that Dylan Butler had endured lengthy periods of bullying. While police have not yet revealed a motive for the tragic shooting, two of Butler’s friends spoke to The Associated Press, describing a young man who had suffered incessant bullying over the years.
Yesenia Roeder, a friend of Butler, voiced her distress, stating, “He was hurting. He got tired. He got tired of the bullying and harassment.” She went on to add that his actions were not justified. Her account offers an insight into the desperation Butler may have experienced.
This sentiment was echoed by Khamya Hall, Yesenia’s sister, who stated that both Butler and his younger sister were frequent targets of bullying. According to the sisters, the siblings’ parents had reported the issue to the school, which proved to be the “last straw” for Butler.
A family familiar with Butler, meanwhile, remembered him as a quiet individual who had endured bullying since his primary school days. However, it is important to note that the official motive behind the rampage has yet to be publicly disclosed.
