A fundraiser for the Indiana middle school teacher labeled a hero for tackling and disarming a school shooter has raised more than $55,000.

The GoFundMe campaign, started by a student at a neighboring high school, is raising money to pay Jason Seaman’s medical bills after he was shot in the attack.

“His actions saved the lives of many kids that were present in his class today. He put his life on the line for their protection,” the fundraising page reads. “The funds will be going to the family for any personal expenses that have incurred due to the event.”

Seaman, a 29-year-old science teacher and football coach at Noblesville West Middle School, has been hailed as a hero and credited with saving countless lives after a student said he swatted the gun out of the shooter’s hand and tackled him.
