Overview
- Students at Pauls Valley High School crowned Principal Kirk Moore prom king during Friday's dance in thanks for stopping an armed attack.
- District video from April 7 shows Moore rushing a 20-year-old former student in the lobby, taking a shot to the leg as staff pinned the suspect until police arrived.
- Investigators say the suspect, Victor Lee Hawkins, planned a Columbine-style shooting, targeted Moore, and told them he stole two handguns from his father.
- No students were hurt, and authorities credited active-shooter training and the staff’s quick action with preventing a mass casualty event.
- Hawkins has pleaded not guilty, is held on $1 million bond, and faces a preliminary hearing on May 8 as some parents press for stronger on-campus police coverage.
