The science teacher who was shot while tackling a student who opened fire inside an Indiana classroom spoke out for the first time on Monday, and said his quick moves were the “only acceptable actions” to save his students.
Jason Seaman and other school officials thanked the Noblesville, Indiana community and gave an update on Ella Whistler, the 13-year-old student who was critically wounded in the attack.
“I want to make it clear that my actions on that day, in my mind, were the only acceptable actions I could have done given the circumstances,” Seaman told reporters. “I deeply care for my students and their well-being. So that’s why I did what I did that day.”
The 29-year-old, a former college football player, has been hailed a hero for his actions to take down the still unidentified shooter who entered his Noblesville West Middle School classroom with a gun.
Seaman declined to answer questions from reporters, but praised Whistler and urged everyone to think of her as she recovers.
“I can’t say enough how proud of Ella I am, and how we all should be,” he said. “Her courage and strength at such a young age is nothing short of remarkable, and we should all continue to keep her in our minds as she continues to recover.”
