Overview
- The attack at Pauls Valley High School, which unfolded Tuesday afternoon, ended when Principal Kirk Moore and staff overpowered a former student after Moore was shot in the lower right leg.
- Investigators say Victor Hawkins, 20, told them he intended to kill students and staff and then himself, citing the 1999 Columbine massacre as his model.
- Affidavit details indicate Hawkins took two of his father’s pistols and drove his father’s truck to the school, where a gun first jammed and a second shot injured Moore before staff restrained him.
- Prosecutors charged Hawkins with shooting with intent to kill, two counts of pointing a firearm, and two counts of unlawful carry, and a judge set bond at $1 million with GPS and stay-away conditions if released.
- Moore is recovering at home after hospital discharge, classes were canceled for two days with counseling offered, and the OSBI continues its probe as local leaders review school access and security practices.
