According to the story former Saluki defensive end Jason Seaman played an instrumental role in subduing a school shooter in Indiana earlier today. He was shot 3 times in the process forcing him into surgery but appears as though he'll make a full recovery based on initial reports. No fatalites have been reported.

"Our science teacher immediately ran at him, swatted a gun out of his hand and tackled him to the ground," seventh-grader Ethan Stonebraker told The Associated Press. "If it weren't for him, more of us would have been injured for sure."

Seaman played at Southern Illinois from 2007 to 2010. According to school records, he played in 47 career games and tallied eight sacks with two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
According to a social media profile, Seaman, who is married and has two young children, also coaches football for the seventh-grade team.
"It's not surprising, to be honest," Jeremy Seaman told The Indianapolis Star about his brother's action Friday. "He's not really ever been the person to run away. When the safety of the kids is at hand, it's not surprising to me that he was going to do what he had to do."
Please oh please don't make this a debate about gun violence... there's plenty of space and willing participants for that on the poli board. I wanted to recognize a former FCS player for some pretty extraordinary acts of heroism. I wasn't a fan of his team but I sure am a fan of his after hearing about this. Great job Jason and get well soon!
