Principal Kirk Moore managed to tackle a 20-year old former student, Victor Lee Hawkins, who entered the school wielding two handguns bent on carrying out a “Columbine-inspired” shooting, according to a local news outlet.
Moore suffered a gunshot wound to his leg amid the struggle. Reports say that Hawkins’ firearms malfunctioned before Moore moved in, allowing students to escape his wrath. Hawkins also claimed that he “went to the high school to kill Moore.”
