Indiana teacher who tackled shooter released from hospital

Source: CBS News

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana middle school teacher credited for tackling a male student armed with two handguns has been released from the hospital. Jason Seaman was released from Indiana University Health on Saturday afternoon, CBS affiliate WTTV reports.

Seaman was shot three times: once in the stomach, hip and arm. The former college football player who doubles as a football coach and science teacher is being called a hero after putting himself between his students and the bullets.

He was transported following the shooting Friday morning at Noblesville West Middle School. Thirteen-year-old Ella Whistler was also shot Friday. Her family said she's in critical, but stable condition.

This is the 17th school shooting this year and fourth of the month. The attack comes a week after an attack at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas, that killed eight students and two teachers, and months after the school attack that killed 17 people in Parkland, Florida.

This is the SEVENTEENTH school shooting this year, and the year's not even close to half over yet. When in the hell are our congress critters gonna' get out of their NRA funded easy chairs and DO SOMETHING?

Wait, I forgot..... children's lives take a back seat to the right to bear macho toys.

Why is Trump 'allowing' violence done to our students?

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."

-- and gun-lovers too cheap to pay NRA dues but supportive of their white wing agenda -- think arming everyone will stop shootings. Hero wannabes -- like George Zimmerman -- like the idea too.

That's BS, their "Good Guy with a Gun" campaign is an attempt to keep selling more guns.
