Oklahoma Principal Tackles Gunman

The suspect, 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was armed with two semi-automatic handguns and reportedly admitted to investigators that he intended to kill the principal and students.

The video shows Moore charging at Hawkins immediately upon seeing the weapon, holding him down until another staff member could kick the gun away.

Moore has been praised by the community and law enforcement for his quick thinking and bravery, which saved countless lives.

Hawkins is now facing multiple charges, including attempted mass murder, as the school community reels from the near-tragedy.
