Overview
- Students at Pauls Valley High School crowned Principal Kirk Moore prom king, turning the celebration into a thank-you for his actions during the attack.
- Earlier this month, former student Victor Lee Hawkins entered the school with two semiautomatic handguns, ordered people to the floor, experienced a gun jam, and fired a shot that missed before Moore tackled and disarmed him.
- Moore was shot in the leg during the takedown and held Hawkins with help from the assistant principal, according to surveillance video descriptions and court records.
- Prosecutors say Hawkins, 20, said he intended to kill students, staff, and himself and wanted to emulate the Columbine gunmen, and he remains jailed on $1 million bail.
- Moore says active-shooter training guided his response and he is recovering, while parents are now pressing the district on security as the local school resource officer covers multiple campuses and arrived about a minute after the shooting.
