A teacher who was shot as he tackled and disarmed a student at an Indiana school last week said on Monday his swift decisions “were the only acceptable actions” to save his seventh-grade students. The teacher, Jason Seaman, spoke publicly for the first time since the shooting on Friday, and thanked the Noblesville community for its support. A local high school student launched the effort. A student witness to the attack, Ethan Stonebraker, told ABC News Seaman ran toward the bullets as students sought cover. Seaman threw a basketball at the shooter and ran toward the bullets as screaming students sought cover, Stonebraker said.
