ADEL, Iowa — Dallas County Attorney Jeannine Ritchie announced Thursday that she will release a summary of the law enforcement investigation into the Jan. 4 shooting at Perry High School once her office has “reviewed and analyzed” the report, which was produced by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI).
In a statement, Ritchie said,
“Over the past several days, I have received inquiries regarding the DCI’s report regarding the shooting at Perry High School on Jan. 4, 2024. As the Dallas County Attorney, my responsibility is to thoroughly review and analyze information compiled by law enforcement in order to determine whether criminal charges are appropriate and prosecutable.
“The DCI conducted its investigation over the course of approximately nine months. At this time, the entire report is being reviewed and analyzed. Once a decision is made as to whether any charges are appropriate, a statement with a summary of the report will be released.”
The DCI investigated the shooting deaths of Perry Middle School sixth grader Ahmir Jolliff and Perry High School Principal Dan Marburger.
