White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made a verbal misstep during a press briefing about the Perry High School shooting, initially saying “unfortunately” instead of “fortunately” when addressing the active threat situation.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, “Unfortunately, there is no longer an active threat to the school.”
“I should say fortunately, not unfortunately,” said Jean-Pierre. (Trending: Sports Icon Dies Suddenly At 56)

The shooting resulted in three injuries, with the shooter dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Patients are receiving treatment at medical centers, and families of the victims have been reunited.
The incident occurred on the first day of the second semester for the Perry Community School District after the winter break.
Our hearts are broken by this senseless tragedy. Our prayers are with the students, teachers & families of the Perry Community.
I have been in contact with law enforcement agencies & am continuing to monitor the situation. I will be joining their press conference today.
