Newly released surveillance video shows an Oklahoma high school principal tackling a gunman in the school's lobby.
"We're about a population of 6,200 people. Good kids, good community. Certainly don't expect these type of situations to happen in your town," said Pauls Valley Police Chief Don May.
Moore, an educator for 35 years, was shot in the leg and airlifted to a nearby hospital. No one else was injured in the shooting.
"He got up like the rest of us to go to work and who dreamed this was going to happen? So I just want to say thank you," said Lindel Fields, the Oklahoma superintendent of public instruction.
