Seaman and the student victim were transported to Indianapolis hospitals in critical condition. The suspected shooter was taken into custody.

Police say the shooter asked to be excused from the classroom, then returned with two handguns before opening fire.
A student who was in the classroom at the time of the incident said the shooter fired 4-6 shots, not at anybody in particular.
"When he walked in, he had this weird look on his face," the student said. "He reached into his right pocket and pulled out a handheld gun. He took about 4-5 shots, not aimed at anyone specifically like he was waving his hand around."
Police were also investigating a “secondary threat” to Noblesville High School Friday morning believed to be unrelated to the shooting at Noblesville West Middle School.
