An Oklahoma principal's heroic and quick-thinking actions are being shown in a newly released video as he tackled an armed former student who had planned to carry out a Columbine-inspired shooting.
Principal Kirk Moore was shot in the leg after he pounced on top of the 20-year-old suspect last week. No one else was hurt.
Moore could then be seen in the video opening a door and rushing at the former student from the side, tackling him onto a bench against the wall.
At one point, the gun was pointed directly at Moore's head. Another staff member quickly arrived and kicked away the gun that the suspect had just dropped.
