NEW: Oklahoma high school principal seen charging at and disarming a school shooter in footage obtained by @SHumphreyTV.
Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore is being called a hero after getting shot while stopping a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.”
While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover and says he is looking forward to returning to work as soon as possible.
"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. Until then, my thoughts are with our outstanding students, safe today in the arms of their families and friends," he said.
Hero!
During Operation ABSOLUTE RESOLVE, CW5 Eric Slover when flying his MH-47 to insert Delta Force into Maduro’s compound, was hit in the legs and hips by enemy machine gun fire. Bleeding profusely, Slover swung his Chinook around so that his gunners could silence the enemy forces. They did so, and Slover piloted the helo to the insertion point, from where every Delta operator disembarked to close in with the enemy and take the prize. Slover then told his co-pilot, also wounded to take over, for he was about to pass out.
Not only would every man aboard the Chinook have been killed if not for Slover’s actions, it was the keystone of the operation. We would’ve had to scrub the raid if it was lost.
American hero.
@bonchieredstate Yep. We sell holsters designed to carry a spare mag. Lots of people buy them. They're great. It's smart to carry a spare mag.
This whole debacle really has people telling on themselves.
They're still blowing the whistles at the medics who are attempting to work on the guy after he's down. Keep this in mind next time you're tempted to think their bemoaning his being hurt is in anyway earnest emotion.
