WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Two individuals have been hospitalized after a school shooting at a middle school in the US state of Indiana on Friday, Indiana State Police Public Information Officer John Perrine said in a statement.

"There are two victims en route to Methodist from the Noblesville West Middle School Active Shooter," Perrine said via Twitter on Friday.

A male student is in custody after injuring a fellow student and a teacher, Noblesville Police Department Chief Kevin Jowitt said during a press conference.

"We have two victims, one an adult teacher and one a juvenile student," Jowitt told reporters on Friday.
