(WISH) -- Two people are in critical condition and a shooter is in custody after a shooting at Noblesville West Middle School. News 8 has been told that the situation is contained. Police are on scene. The school is on lockdown. Officials are requesting more medical help on the scene. One victim is a 13-year-old girl. One victim is an adult.

God bless America

If schools actually focused on helping troubled kids and fucked off with 'zero tolerance' bs then maybe this wouldn't be such a common occurrence ? ?? ? But sure, keep the status quo the way it is my good sons. Because if nothing changes, this sort of bloodbath will keep continuing until something gives way.

Are you kidding me? Right after Santa Fe? This is out of control and needs to just fucking stop already.

Again America? This becoming the new national sport?

Another day, another shooting. It's getting to the point where the news doesn't even have an impact on me anymore.

Noblesville schools aren't a 'zero tolerance' school district.

It sounds bad but I don't even feel any shock anymore whenever there's a school shooting in America (or really any kind shooting) It's just another day in America at this stage

Honestly this just seems to be one long chain reaction. It's already well known that after one shooting it usually inspires others to do the same, so that's probably what you're seeing. This is kind of the medias fault.

While it probably partly is, it goes much deeper than that. Before we even get into the same 50-page debate on guns/media/mental health being the problem again, there are a variety of other issues too, particularly having to do with the state of American culture and society. Skarphedinn said it best: There are always going to people who fall through the cracks, yeah. But it's more than that. It's just a culture problem. These people for gun safety and stuff only show up after there has been a shooting. Same thing with law enforcement. It takes someone to die for anyone to give a shit for a few months and then they're back to their own little world. It isn't a gun problem. It's a culture problem. I hate how easy it falls onto "well just ban guns it'll get rid of the problem!" It won't. It's become the American way to find the easiest way out, even if it is right or wrong. Because time is money, right? Oh? This guy is getting bullied and pushed into a corner? Well. Not our problem, oh he got hit? Just suspend them both. He'll be punished for being assaulted. Oh? This guy has mental health problems? Just throw him into the class with special ed kids. He isn't our problem. Just keep him out of sight and out of mind. Oh? You're depressed? Stop being a little bitch and suck it up. Oh? You're poor? You can't afford medicine without going into debt? Well. It's your fault for being poor. Oh? You can't afford to pay the insane tuition fees to get a decent degrees? Well. Get a job you fucking bum. Oh? You have to work two jobs so you can afford to live in a one bedroom apartment and get medical help? Well, thats your own fault. Oh? You don't want to work 7 days a week? What are you? Some freeloading socialist. Well. I know you're doing more than what you where hired to do at work. But you need to do these other two jobs without getting paid for them. No? You're fired. Oh? He went postal and shot up his work? Well. He was always quiet. Huh. I wonder why he'd do that.. It isn't always 100% mental health. But it sure is a big fucking problem. People are pushed on by every direction here, and you're simply expected to suck it up with a smile. 95% of the people here don't give a fuck about your problems, unless in some way it'll affect them. Then they'll give you a hand until they're free of it, and they'll leave you in the dust. Then turn around and berate you for it. Mental Health? You're weak. You're shunned. You're poor? You're weak. You're shunned. Homeless because your house burned down? Your fault. Shunned. There is a reason why so many people here are poor and in debt. They attempt to live the high life. Because if you go out and you aren't wearing someone new? Everyone will judge you for it. I work at the Walmart Auto center right now, and I see so many people come in with brand new, nice cars or beat to hell cars that barely work and want a $20 dollar oil change for it, and they always sound ashamed to ask for it. Then only to get scoffed at by other customers or employees. A lot of people struggle to get by, but never try to show it. It builds up and up. People refuse to help other people because it makes them look bad. It's a mentality that is only being hammered in by our media and culture at every corner. "Oh! Don't look poor. Look at these mansions. But you'll never get here, so buy these outrageously out-priced shoes so you'll fit in with other people doing the same thing." Then following it with "Oh, You see these people? They're out to get YOU and they won't stop at nothing!" It's hammered in that you're pretty much a nobody, and to be anyone you need to spend, spend, spend, because if you don't! Those other spooky people who don't share the same views as you will get you. Buy buy buy. You're being attacked by these people you've never even met before. But they're bad, so buy more. But don't get sick, because if you're poor you're just as bad as them. But to buy, you need to work seven days a week, and never see your kids. Free time? Oh, no no. You need work more! Then when finally people snap it boils down to "Wow! Uh, Movies did this! Get those bad people who make movies!" When movies got more accepted? "Wow, uh! Video games did this! Get those bad people with video games!" When video games got accepted "Wow! Uh! Guns did this! Get those bad people with guns!" It's always a "Us vs them" mentality here. Everyone wants to feel big. Everyone wants to feel important. Because thats the American dream. Because you can spout non-sense and people listen to you, or you can shoot up a school. Either way, your face is on TV. You're remembered. Sorry for the long, and possibly unneeded rant. But I hate when this topic is just devolved down into "lol guns", its a far, far larger problem than that.

Literally the only other place on the planet where something similar happens as regularly, is when suicide bombers blow themselves and others up in backwards Middle Eastern countries. America is supposed to be a developed country. Maybe it’s time that American took inspiration from literally every other developed country, where school shootings almost never happen.

Exceeds by a significant margin I would have thought?

The day of Sante Fe I was looking at my phone at work and I saw a local high school's name on my twitter trends widget. I thought, what could possibly have happened there that made even the slightest bit of news? I showed my buddy who went there because it was odd and then I clicked on it because I was curious. It was a ton of tweets about there being a shooting. I panicked until I realized it was in a different state, which is kinda shitty I guess but theres a difference between thinking strangers died and thinking your friends died ya know. Haven't seen a single thing about it since which I assume is because only 1 person being murdered at a school is a non-event in todays times. 1 killed, 1 injured in shooting at Georgia high school | myfox8...

a slow-motion, ever-evolving riot

I legit don't know how anyone can react with shock anymore, it's just become "that sucks." and you move on. After Sandy Hook the American zeitgeist is this, bask in it.

I appreciate you posting this. Although it didn't really help the other thread from devolving into an argument.

My little brother goes to the East version of this exact same school Also how come nobody including the OP is mentioning that the "injured adult" is a goddamn hero? He's a six foot six, 7th grade science teacher/football coach that soaked up three shots to tackle the fuck out of this kid before he could do some serious damage.

Statement from Jason Seaman: "First of all, thank you to the first responders from Noblesville and Fishers for their immediate action and care. I want to let everyone know that I was injured but am doing great. To all students, you are all wonderful and I thank you for your support. You are the reason I teach."
