Trump praises Indiana teacher for ‘action’ in school shooting

President Trump praised an Indiana middle school teacher on Saturday who is credited with disarming a school shooter earlier this week. 

“Thanks to very brave Teacher & Hero Jason Seaman of Noblesville, Indiana, for his heroic act in saving so many precious young lives. His quick and automatic action is being talked about all over the world!” Trump said.

Seaman and one female student were injured in the shooting and were taken to a nearby hospital. Seaman suffered three gunshot wounds but is reported to be in good condition, while the girl was in critical condition as of Friday night, according to CNN.
