The judge called the teenager a risk to the community. He will be held at the Hamilton County Juvenile Service Center for 120 days while a probation department finds a secure residential facility.
A hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 4 to determine where he will be placed. The teenager, who was 13 at the time of the shooting, had been detained since shortly after he opened fire at Noblesville West Middle School in May 2018.
He shot a seventh-grade science teacher and another 13-year-old student. The teacher, Jason Seaman, tackled and pinned him to the ground.
