A 13-year-old boy who opened fire in the middle of a classroom at an Indiana high school acted "without remorse." This was stated by a judge that this Wednesday sent the teenager to a maximum security juvenile prison until he turns 18.

The events occurred on May 25 when the student opened fire in one of the classrooms of the Noblesville West Middle School, located north of Indianapolis. In the shooting, a Jason Seaman, a seventh-grade science teacher and football coach, and a 13-year-old girl were injured.

Prosecutor Andre Mishka told People that the teenager will remain in the correctional facility until he turns 18 or if the state Department of Corrections determines that he has been rehabilitated. When he leaves, he will remain on probation.

According to the Indianapolis Star newspaper Paul A. Felix, the judge in charge of the case had no mercy for the boy, considering that his intentions to harm others were very clear. “You went to school that day with the intention of killing many people, not just two people. It shakes me to think that that was your goal,”exclaimed the magistrate.

Prosecutors are still looking for the motive that led the boy to attack his peers that morning. "We still don't have a reason," explained Brandi Pass, one of the case managers. "She did it because she wanted to take lives. He didn't shoot them because he had an old problem with them. She did it because she likes to shoot people."

According to the AP agency, the boy admitted his wrongdoing and apologized by means of a document that the correctional system takes as a guilty acceptance. However, the judge does not trust the teenager's words. "I don't think he was honest. Last week he showed no remorse."

Meanwhile Chris Eskew, a lawyer for the boy, asked to send it to a private rehabilitation center. "We are concerned with how he will grow there and what kind of people will be by his side, influencing him."

To date, the two victims of the shooting remain with serious consequences for what happened: the teacher lives with two bullets still lodged in the body and the young woman suffers from motor problems.
