NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — The next court date for the 13-year-old Noblesville school shooting suspect has been pushed back at least 60 days following a motion by the boy’s attorney.
Attorney Chris Eskew asked for more time to prepare and the prosecution did not object.
The teen’s next court appearance had been scheduled for a two-day fact-finding hearing on June 25-26.
The teens trial had been set for July 2nd but that will also be delayed.
New hearing dates and a new trial date have not yet been set.
The 13-year-old suspect is accused of opening fire in a classroom at Noblesville West Middle School in May, striking teacher Jason Seaman and classmate Ella Whistler multiple times.
Seaman has since been released from the hospital while Whistler remains at Riley Hospital for Children, where she was expected to remain for some time.
