A crowd-funding campaign set up for Whistler and her family has raised close to $70,000 as of Thursday morning. A crowd-funding campaign for Seaman has raised more than $99,000.
The Noblesville Schools Education Foundation has set up a fund to “support the needs of the victims.”
T-shirts with the message “#NOBStrong” are being sold, with proceeds going to both Whistler and Seaman. The Indianapolis Colts wore the shirts to practice on Wednesday.
The suspect is in police custody. Hamilton County prosecutors are not immediately releasing information about him, as state laws prevent releasing information about a minor accused of a crime.
