Active shooter situation at Noblesville West Middle School

[dfcrane]

How'd the kid get two handguns into the building?

I am sure he just walked in the front door like everyone else with the two guns in his backpack.

Wonder why we haven't heard the shooter kid's name yet? Surely it's being tossed around on social media?

Let's not. Infamy inspires more

Juvenile. The news won't name him unless his family comes forward. I don't think the police can name him, either.

The school sure as heck won't. There's a federal law about that. (For those who follow those kinds of things.)

Teacher is in decent shape with three gun shot wounds.
Story goes - shooter raises guns when returning to room, teacher throws basketball at shooter and follows up with tackle

I understand that thought process. The problem is that if the name isn't out, no one will do the research into those involved with this troubled youth that didn't do their job.

If we didn't know the name of the other shooters, we'd only have the liberal news media's side that it was the gun's fault, thus they must be banned.

I think dude's one of the football coaches, so that would make sense.

That teacher has much more courage and backbone than a Broward County sheriff.

Props to the teacher. Armed with a basketball and a tackle, he confronts a kid with two pistols. Huge cajones. Why does this keep happening at schools? I don’t believe the arguments about “availability of guns”. Hell, it is harder to get a gun now than ever in this country. Before the late 60’s they would mail one to your house. Somewhere in this mix it has something to do with kids, at least some of them, not having the coping skills that almost everybody once had in dealing with adversity/rejection/failure. For over the two hundred years, this type of stuff didn’t happen. We need to look at what changed in a cold calculated manner.

He is. He was also a college football player. Not a dude I'd want to be tackled by. He's nice and his kids are cute, though.

The thing that amazes me about some of my friends on Facebook is they are saying stuff like, "Nobelsville this is too close for comfort", like people in other states didn't feel the same way when it happened in their city or state. There have been 23 school shootings so far in 2018. Only the big ones get publicized and politicized across the country. People need to realize the shooters that are stopped are stopped by someone who has the ability to stop them. I know most, if not all, of us agree more laws aren't the answer. However, why can't these people who feel it is now a real problem because it is in their state see that we need someone capable of stopping these shooters?

This is a lie, you are being called out for spreading the liberal false agenda...

The breakdown of the family and traditional values including, but not limited to, the value of life.

This.

Noblesville will never make their kids walk through metal detectors...

Good

Agreed. I am not sure what to do about it, except exert my influence within my sphere of influence. This type of thing will continue and unless we can come up with a way to counter it, the mass of sheeple will eventually DEMAND that the govt take away one of our rights. It won’t help, but they will still demand it.

State is about nothing other than expanding state, stripping rights, and curbing liberty.

The entire "gun control" effort is simply one facet of that existence.

Even if the Second Amendment were completely abolished and every single gun in America was destroyed, state would still have "work to do".

Teacher involved is married to my cousin.
This one hits close to home as my wife is a school teacher as well.

Thoughts and prayers for you and yours. Sounds like he is an amazing educator, and quick thinking/acting man.

Wow, talk about bravery and clear-headed, effective action in the face of almost certain grave injury to himself.

No trouble in saying he's a better, braver man than I am.

Forget about "A good man with a gun..." this good man got it done with a basketball.
