Someone opened fire at a suburban Indianapolis middle school yesterday, injuring an adult and a child before the suspect was taken into custody, authorities said.

The victims in the attack at Noblesville West Middle School were taken to hospitals in Indianapolis and their families were notified, Bryant Orem, a spokesman for the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said. The suspect is believed to have acted alone and was taken into custody, he said.

Indiana University spokeswoman Danielle Sirilla said an adult victim was taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital and child was taken to Riley Hospital for Children. She had no information on the victims' ages or seriousness of their injuries. The attack comes a week after an attack at a high school in Santa Fe that killed eight students and two teachers.
