A 60-year-old high school principal in Oklahoma charged an armed former student in a school lobby, took a gunshot to the right leg, and still wrestled the shooter to the ground, likely preventing a mass killing that the suspect told investigators he had modeled on the 1999 Columbine massacre.
Kirk Moore, the longtime principal of Pauls Valley High School, rushed toward 20-year-old Victor Lee Hawkins after Hawkins allegedly entered the building armed with two loaded semi-automatic pistols on the afternoon of April 7. Surveillance footage released days later captured the confrontation in the school lobby: Hawkins pointed a weapon at Moore’s head, fired a shot that struck Moore’s right leg, and Moore kept coming, shoving the gunman toward a bench, getting on top of him, and pinning down his right hand to stop him from firing again. Moore was the only person injured. No students were harmed.
