High school principal tackles gunman, saving students
A high school principal in Oklahoma was shot in the leg after confronting a man who entered the school with a gun, authorities said. No students were injured in the shooting, according to authorities.
The suspect, a 20-year-old former student, was taken into custody, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesman Hunter McKee said.
“The actions of the staff and the principal stepping in as soon as they saw a subject with a firearm saved lives today,” McKee said.
“I look forward to returning to work as soon as possible so that I may continue my life’s work educating the next generation of Oklahoma leaders,” Pauls Valley High School principal Kirk Moore said in a statement.
