Overview
- Principal Kirk Moore rushed a gunman in the school lobby on April 7, was shot in the leg, then disarmed and restrained him, and no one else was hurt.
- Police named the suspect as Victor Hawkins, 20, a former student now in custody on a charge of shooting with intent to kill.
- A written warrant cited by NBC News says he carried two semi-automatic pistols taken from his father, cleared a jam, and then missed a student with a shot.
- Investigators say Hawkins admitted he planned to kill the principal, students, and himself, with a court hearing set for May 8.
- Officials said the quick action saved lives, Governor Kevin Stitt praised the staff, and Moore says he is recovering and credits school training for his response.
