PAULS VALLEY, Okla. — New surveillance footage from a high school in Oklahoma appears to show a gunman getting tackled by the school’s principal shortly after entering the building. Authorities said the suspected gunman entered the school on April 7, aimed a gun at two students in the lobby, before Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore rushed in. The armed man was identified as former Pauls Valley student Victor Hawkins, 20. Moore was able to take down Hawkins after rushing out of his office. Another staff member could also be seen in the video taking the former student’s gun away. The Pauls Valley High School principal was shot in the leg during the confrontation but was taken to the hospital in stable condition, without any of the nearby students being injured. “The actions of the staff and the principal stepping in as soon as they saw a subject with a firearm saved lives,” Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesman Hunter McKee said. Hawkins’ charges include feloniously pointing a firearm, shooting with intent to kill and carrying a weapon to a public assembly. The 20-year-old is scheduled to appear in court on May 8. ]]> Tue 14 Apr 2026 22:02:05 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614135/school-principal-tackling-a-shooter-and-preventing-him-from-opening-fire/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613502/casino-player-started-ramming-into-the-video-poker-machine-that-went-black-when-he-wa/

"Thank God, thank God, thank God! I was involved in a shooting on my land this morning. I'm home from my OSBI/Sheriff interview and so far they are declining charges. I have been released and am home safe. Early this morning I came into contact with a small car and a man inside who had just been masterbating on my land and doing dope. He admitted openly offering too much information at times. I helped him turn around and sent him on his way, took video to get license plates and document the trespass for filings. I didn't get the chance. Later the same morning around 9/10 ish, I came out and he was back. This time more aggressive and strung out. This time when I asked him to leave, he tried to run me over with his car and I shot him. I performed first aid and applied a tourniquet to his wound seeing that is was pretty bad. I got him a chair and helped him to sit and began to talk until help arrived or so I thought. Suddenly he jumps up and tried to grab my rifle and I had to shoot him again. I never want to hurt people, contraire to popular belief. I try to help more than hurt. This time I had no choice. The videos show that and the investigators agree. I made sure he was okay and he was med flight out and in stable condition when he left. The investigation is still pending and so that's all I can really say but I'm thankful God let me live today and him. I'll be recluse a bit as this has brought back more overseas memories and feelings. I just ask for your support and understanding. Please be safe out there and never leave home unarmed. Had I not been I would still be laying there where he would've ran me over and left and it would have been a week or more before anyone knew. Please be safe. Know the laws. It's important." ]]> Mon 29 Dec 2025 22:47:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1608647/self-defense-shooting-in-oklahoma/
