Oklahoma principal tackles school gunman

Dramatic surveillance footage has been released showing the moment Principal Kirk Moore raced into a hallway to confront a gunman who had opened fire at Pauls Valley High School.

The suspect, a former student later identified as Victor Hawkins, was reportedly armed with two semi-automatic handguns stolen from his father.

Despite being wounded, Moore's quick actions prevented any students from being injured during the April 7 attack.

Authorities stated that Hawkins admitted to entering the school with the intent to open fire, and he now faces multiple felony charges as Moore continues his recovery.
