lexi Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 This one is right down the street from me. Two injured I think. No deaths reported. Shooter in custody. It has been chaos here. I am so so sad. https://www.wthr.com/article/shots-reported-at-noblesville-west-middle-school I’m sitting here at the dentist with all my kids. I’m so thankful that we’re all here together right now. So many emergency vehicles. It’s been terrifying. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanin Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Oh... my heart sinks. I'm so glad you're okay! What is happening in the world?? Are the kids just so sad and lonely, or what? We all need to connect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 So very sad, but I'm also angry. We're the adults - we can do something about this! Any meaningful movement would be a step in the right direction! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 It was a middle school. And it sounds like the shooter was a student. It’s not quite clear yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle school aged kids bringing guns to school with the idea of killing others??? My mind boggles. This news has not even made the headlines in my part of the country yet. Goes to show how casually news media treats school shootings where there are no deaths reported. I am sad ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'm local as well. Reports from police on TV a bit ago said the male student asked to leave the room and when he returned he had two handguns. The teacher and a female student were injured. The police said it was contained to that one room but offered no other information. The teacher's mom posted on social media that he was shot three times but was out of surgery and doing well. Other students say he stopped the shooter. I feel so bad for those kids that they had to see any of it and can't imagine how scary it was. My own dc said they expect it at their own high school and they always look for places to hide or quick ways to get out. None of this is okay. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Shooter is not identified yet, but, I will bet $5 it is a male student who is white. Like the vast majority of school shooters. I only bring this up because my facebook feed is full of "it's because of lax parenting / kids these days / lack of God in schools". But there is a slim demographic when it comes to people who choose this method of violence. Always male, often attacking a girl he has stalked, almost always white. Of course this is terrible, just awful. But no one is surprised, at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I have wondered why the vast majority of these school shooters are white and or middle to upper class These are kids without much parental involvement. Just yesterday, I read of yet one more dead baby who was forgotten by a parent in the back seat of a car. There's a greatly disturbing, ominous theme unaddressed in our society. When did we become so totally self absorbed? What an incredibly heroic and encouraging act that the teacher tackled the shooter to disarm him.
