Dan Spehler shared a firsthand account from a seventh grader who was in the Noblesville West Middle School at the time of the shooting.
The seventh grader said a student entered a science classroom and shot at someone. The science teacher bravely tacked the gunman and swatted the gun away from him, possibly saving others from getting injured. The student didn’t say whether the teacher was injured.
“I literally just spoke with a seventh grader who was in the room where this happened. Her mom came to pick her up this morning. She confirmed what I heard from another person who lives nearby that this was in a science classroom and that a science teacher may have been the one to literally tackle this kid and swat the gun away from him.
Update:
This is a picture of the seventh-grade science teacher who reportedly stopped the shooter. The alleged shooter’s social media account seems to indicate that he thought Seaman was a good teacher.
