The incident occurred when 20-year-old Victor Lee Hawkins entered the school lobby brandishing two semi-automatic handguns.

Principal Moore reacted instantly, charging at the suspect and pinning him to a bench until other staff members could intervene.

Hawkins reportedly told investigators he intended to carry out a 'Columbine-style' attack.

Moore is in stable condition and is being hailed as a hero for his selfless actions that saved countless lives.

No students were injured in the attack, which has prompted a nationwide discussion on school security and principal safety.
