Victor Lee Hawkins was taken into custody after entering Pauls Valley High School on April 7 carrying two handguns, according to reports. The incident was captured on video, showing Hawkins firing shots inside the school before being subdued by the principal.
On Wednesday, Hawkins’ father revealed that his son appeared to have “some kind of beef” with the principal, who has been widely praised for his swift actions that likely prevented a much worse tragedy. The principal’s intervention is being credited with averting a potential bloodbath at the school.
