PAULS VALLEY, Okla. (AP) — A high school principal in Oklahoma was in stable condition being shot in the leg Tuesday after confronting an man who entered the school with a gun, authorities said.
No students were injured, and the suspect, a 20-year-old former student, was taken into custody, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesman Hunter McKee told reporters outside the school.
Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore and other staff members quickly confronted the student after they noticed he entered the school with a gun, McKee said.
“The subject was able to fire multiple rounds, where the principal was hurt, but no one else was,” McKee said. “The actions of the staff and the principal stepping in as soon as they saw a subject with a firearm saved lives today.”
Pauls Valley is a community of about 6,000 people 60 miles south of Oklahoma City.
