One person has been shot at Martinsville West Middle School in Martinsville, Indiana.

The suspect is said to be an expelled 15-year-old and his brother was supposedly detained as well.

No word yet on the identity of the shooter or the victim. The victim was shot in the stomach and flown to an area hospital. The victim’s condition has not been released.

The incident is said to have stemmed from a previous incident at a school dance that took place earlier in the week.

I’ll have more as details are released and as time allows.

UPDATE: The victim is said to be a male student from the school.

UPDATE 2: The gunman allegedly posted on his Facebook that “today is the day”.

UPDATE 3: The victim is said to be 15-year-old Chance Jackson and he is said to be in critical but stable condition. My prayers and thoughts go out to him and his family at this time.

UPDATE 4: The suspect’s name is Michael Phelps and the two allegedly had a confrontation over a girl.
