ALBAWABA - Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore was recently dubbed a hero after viral surveillance footage captured him saving the day by tackling a 20-year-old shooter.
Early April, Moore tackled 20-year-old Victor Hawkins and successfully disarmed him. According to NBC News, Investigators said that Hawkins wanted to carry out a "Columbine-style attack" on his school, in reference to the 1999 high school shooting in Colorado.
Investigators said that the 20-year-old, who was armed with two semiautomatic handguns, walked into the school's lobby, demanded that everyone hit the ground, and attempted to shoot two students. However, both students were allowed to leave after pleading mercy.
