Overview
- Surveillance footage released by the school shows Principal Kirk Moore charge and pin an armed intruder in the lobby in an April 7 attack that left him shot in the leg.
- The suspect, identified as 20-year-old ex-student Victor Lee Hawkins, entered with two semi-automatic guns, and one reportedly malfunctioned, which limited the shots fired.
- Moore was airlifted to a hospital, treated, and released, and he says his training and instincts helped him act as he aims to return to work soon.
- Prosecutors say Hawkins intended a Columbine-style mass shooting targeting students, staff, the principal, and himself, and he has pleaded not guilty to multiple felony counts.
- A judge set Hawkins’ bond at $1 million as the small city of Pauls Valley, home to about 6,200 people, absorbs the case after the district released the video through a public records request.
