Hero: Noblesville Shooting, Teacher Tackled Gunman, Saved Lives
Hero: Noblesville Shooting, Teacher Tackled Gunman, Saved Lives
Indiana – Jason Seaman is a science teacher at Noblesville West Middle School. On Friday morning, when a male student shot a female student, Jason tackled the boy, who had two handguns, and during the struggle, the teacher was shot multiple times. He took a bullet in order to protect his students during the Noblesville shooting. That’s a hero.
The juvenile suspect reportedly excused himself from…

We get it.
Last week, there was a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas. Seven days later, and there is a school shooting in Noblesville, Indiana at a middle school. Noblesville happens to be an hour from where I go to school, and the fact that this one is so close just makes things scarier. Right now, the only thing keeping me and the kids at my school safe from a shooting is the fact that we are out of school right now.
I don’t know many of the details, but this was a shooting. I am not saying guns should be banned altogether, but guns really need to be controlled better.
But that’s not going to happen, is it? The message is clear. Our lives, the lives of our brothers, sisters, friends, teachers, and classmates do not matter.
We get it.

When is it going to end?
This morning around 11:30 AM, I was awoken to the worst news that I have ever gotten: a school I grew up a mere ten minutes away from, Noblesville West Middle School, had an active shooter. An active shooter who had two handguns, who was tackled by seventh grade teacher Jason Seaman and was injured along with a young student. And to be honest, as much as I want to stay calm, I’m fucking terrified.
I grew up in a small community near Noblesville — a small community with about 4,000+ people who knew your name and who got together during summer holidays. But we never expected this to hit so close to home and especially so soon after a devastating school shooting had taken place in Santa Fe, which took ten people who did not deserve to die.
But now that this has happened, I must ask: when are we going to see a change in gun control? When is this going to end? And what can we do to make sure this stops?

I go to Noblesville High School and I'll be honest, I thought we were safe from this, but I've been proven wrong today.
I thought we were safe because there are numerous police officers on school grounds at both middle schools and the high school at all times. But apparently that still wasn't enough. I thought we were safe because we were nationally recognized as one of the safest communities in the country with an excellent hold on crime. But apparently it's not as good a hold on crime as we thought. I thought we were safe because we're the richest school system in the state, and school shootings are associated with the rich and privileged schools. But apparently not because even the privileged have a target on their backs. Turns out I thought wrong.
We were safe today because of the bravery of the science teacher who quickly tackled the shooter, preventing any further attacks (taking 3 bullets in the process) and is currently hospitalized for his critical condition.
I thought we were safe from this, but it turns out that I thought horribly wrong. The Noblesville shooting is proof that a school shooting can happen anywhere at any time, regardless of one's race, sex, age, community, or anything else, and that no one is safe.
Hey guys, I kind of just need to say something so ignore this please if you can’t hear any more about school violence and guns. I know I’m not a political blog or anything, but I’m very political-minded and this hit close to home. Today was my last day of high school at Westfield High School, in Westfield, Indiana. 10 minutes away from my school, there was a school shooting at 9am today at Noblesville West Middle School in Noblesville, Indiana. I can’t express my horror at this occurrence. Noblesville and Westfield and two very close school systems, both in location and the fact that we have a strong love for each other. Like, remember back to your days of high school, and think of the one school that was near yours, the one that you always faced in sports or academic competitions. The school some of your friends went to, and maybe a few people even went to your prom from their school. That is Noblesville for me. It’s the place where I have gone to for swim meets for 10 years, the place where many of my friends live, the place right next to my home. The shooting today was at Noblesville West Middle School, and my brother knows many friends that go there, because of sports. There were 2 people injured today, a 13-year-old student and a science teacher, and I believe they will live but there is no way to be sure right now. My brother goes to middle school as well, but at Westfield. These schools are 10-15 minutes away from each other. It could have been his school. It could have been my school. It could have been any school. Additionally, my aunt is a teacher. Where does she teach? An elementary school in Noblesville. It could have been her school. It could have been any school.
All I can say is that this really can (and will) happen to anyone. I wish that it wouldn’t, but I suppose this is our culture now. Also, please remember that this happened in the wealthiest area of Indiana, so yes, it even happens to the most privileged of school systems and families.
This was such a tragic way to end my last day of high school, but I wanted to share this story with all of you so that you understand that we need to take action so that we don’t have to have this happen at another school. I needed to speak out about this because it’s the best way to try and help influence and bring action. I won’t be someone that just offers thoughts and prayers.

Noblesville school shooting is another case of 'it can't happen here.'
Noblesville school shooting is another case of ‘it can’t happen here.’
Noblesville West Middle School
In late May, not too long after the shooting at El Paso High School in Texas, there was a school shooting at Noblesville West Middle School in Indiana. I haven’t done much research on it yet, but from what I gather a male student from the school shot a teacher and a female student. Thankfully, there were no fatalities.
However, in this article from USA Today, a…

NOBLESVILLE, Ind | Indiana teacher who stopped school shooting earns praise

NOBLESVILLE, Ind | Indiana teacher who stopped school shooting earns praise
NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (AP) — The Indiana science teacher and former college football player who tackled an armed student inside his classroom is being praised for quickly stopping the shooting despite being shot several times.
One of Jason Seaman’s students at Noblesville West Middle School said another student entered the classroom with a gun and started shooting Friday morning. The 29-year-old teacher “immediately ran at him, swatted a gun out of his hand and tackled him to the ground,” said seventh-grader Ethan Stonebraker.
Seaman was shot three times but was in good condition at an Indianapolis hospital following the shooting in nearby Noblesville, according to police. The only other person shot, student Ella Whistler, was in critical but stable condition, according to her family said. Her family released a statement saying they were still trying to process “what happened and why.”
President Donald Trump sent a tweet Saturday thanking Seaman “for his heroic act in saving so many precious young lives. His quick and automatic action is being talked about all over the world!” Vice President Mike Pence, the former governor of Indiana, also credited the teacher’s “courageous action” for saving lives during the shooting at the suburban Indianapolis school.
“We’re all proud of you Jason and are praying for you and those impacted and recovering from injuries,” Pence said in his own tweet.
Janna Lynas of Noblesville, whose son was coached by Seaman in football, said the teacher is a hero “and everyone here feels it.”
“I believe it was probably very instinctual with him. There was potential for a lot of lives being lost,” Lynas said Saturday.
She said she wasn’t surprised to hear that Seaman intervened to save students. Lynas said Seaman emphasized character last year when he coached her son.
“He made it very clear: Yes, we are going to be playing football but if your grades aren’t good, you’re not going to be playing football,” Lynas said.
Stonebraker, the student witness, said the shooter was acting suspiciously when he walked into the classroom while the class was taking a test. He told ABC News that his teacher threw a basketball at the shooter and ran toward the bullets as screaming students sought cover behind a table.
“If it weren’t for him, more of us would have been injured for sure,” the seventh grader said.
Seaman’s brother, Jeremy Seaman, told The Indianapolis Star that his brother was shot three times and underwent surgery. He said his brother was conscious after the shooting and talked with his wife, telling her he was OK.
He said his brother was a defensive end for Southern Illinois University’s football team and had never been a person to run away.
Investigators say the shooter had asked to be dismissed from the class before returning with two guns. He was arrested “extremely quickly” following the shooting around 9 a.m. Friday, local police Chief Kevin Jowitt said.
Authorities didn’t release the student’s name or say whether he had been in trouble before but indicated he likely acted alone. Police said the student didn’t appear to be injured.
Stonebraker said he knew the suspected gunman. He described him as “a nice kid most of the times” and said he often joked with the classmates.
“It’s just a shock he would do something like that,” Stonebraker said. Hours after the shooting, law enforcement agents sealed off part of an upscale neighborhood in Noblesville but weren’t commenting on whether the suspect lived there. Sandy McWilliams, a member of a landscaping crew working nearby, said six officers toting assault rifles entered a home.
Students were bused to the Noblesville High School gym, where hundreds of parents and other family members arrived to retrieve them.
Authorities referred to a prompt and heroic response at the school but didn’t confirm accounts of Seaman tackling the student or describe the role of the resource officer who was stationed at the school.
When asked to elaborate on his praise of the response, Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter said: “Wait ’til one day we can tell you that story. You’ll be proud of them, too.”
The attack came a week after a shooting at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas, that killed eight students and two teachers, and months after the high school attack that killed 17 people in Parkland, Florida. The Florida attack inspired students there and across the country to call for more restrictions on access to guns.

to everyone who sent me concerned messages, thank you. i am safe and home right now.
here’s what happened.
this morning there was a shooting at a local middle school (noblesville west). a student and teacher are in critical condition but alive as far as i know. the students were evacuated to noblesville high school. so far nothing else has happened but... honestly im still terrified.
my high school is not noblesville high but another local high school that is literally just a few miles away so we were put on lockdown. i’m a senior so i dont have any classes, but i was dropping stuff off today. there was no active shooter in my school but since we were so close to the shooting we were put on a level 2 lockdown. it has been lifted and im now home but someone has made a threat to noblesville high school. you know, where all the recently traumatized kids have been bused to. nothing has happened but im just... i know people who go to these schools. im terrified and infuriated and heart broken.
even though i know a threat is probably someone’s idea of a prank, i’ll be the first to tell you that shit isn’t fucking funny. you’ve scared the shit out of thousands of students, parents, and teachers who’ve just been struck by a great tragedy. what the hell is your problem. i may not have witnessed first hand any of the tragedy of today but i can still remember the way the words ‘school shooting’ had an effect on those i know and love and that’s not fucking funny.
right now im just praying the injury count stays at 2 and both people make it out alive.

FBI: Noblesville school shooting was preventable
OBLESVILLE, Ind. — The man in charge of the FBI in Indianapolis said the Noblesville Middle School West shooting could have been prevented.

They had learned that the shooter had shown behavioral changes and even sent text messages to students warning them not to go to the school that day. The report concluded that fatal shooting incidents are preventable if people report concerns to law authorities. The findings are part of the FBI's study on shooting incidents.
