How you know the intervention thing as fact, GG? I've been live-streaming NBC WTHR because our son is the news production dept. mgr there and lived in Noblesville up until late last year. At the first press conference (11-ish), the sheriff specifically stated that there would be no concrete information other than there is a shooter in custody and a student and teacher injured, and that a threat was called into the high school where they took the middle school students. He would not take questions. The rest is hearsay.


Another press conference is scheduled for 2:00 pm.

It's been on the internet and think I heard something on the radio as well.

Another school shooting today. The gun nuts say HOHUM, so what nothing can be done. Its not the guns, or the type of guns, or the availability of guns, or the type of people who can get guns, no nothing to do with guns. Nothing to do because nothing can be done. Lets send thoughts and prayers to the survivors while the NRA sends money to the sellout politicians. I do wonder who will be next.

Indiana school shooting: Noblesville science teacher stopped shooter

[CFrance]

I'm going with what the police superintendent said.

Someone told my husband about the shooting earlier today and I could find NOTHING on cable TV. Only two shot, so maybe there was not enough people shot to make the big news ............... we need a massacre for people to care! We are becoming immune to violence.

Info from my computer .... a minute ago:

1:50 p.m.

A student at an Indiana middle school says he saw his science teacher tackle a fellow student who fired shots inside the classroom.

Seventh-grader Ethan Stonebraker says the class was taking a test at Noblesville West Middle School when the student walked in late, pulled out a gun and started firing.

He says the teacher "immediately ran at him, swatted a gun out of his hand and tackled him to the ground." Stonebraker adds, "if it weren't for him, more of us would have been injured for sure."

The teacher and a student were injured in the shooting. Authorities didn't have any information about their conditions.

That is a GREAT teacher, split second thinking.

The Latest: Student says science teacher tackled gunman

I wish he had not been shot three times. I wonder how he might have been spared.

They need to train and arm teachers here as they do in Israel.

Fortunately in Oklahoma an armed bystander took out a shooter at a restaurant! Chalk up one for the one for the good guys! He or she probably saved some lives and the taxpayers a lot of money on trials, appeals, jail and prison costs, etc.Gunman shot dead by armed bystander in restaurant shooting

P.S. Just found out it was two male armed bystanders who took out the shooter. Way to go, guys!

Sorry but I would NOT have wanted to be trained and armed as you suggest. I attended an excellent university in order to develop an expertise in my field of education so that I could best serve my students. I did not choose the teaching profession with any intention of learning how to use a gun to kill intruders. We all have our roles in society and I do not believe that is or should be the domain of educators.
