Students crown Oklahoma hero principal prom king weeks after he stopped attempted school shooting

NEWYou can listen to Fox News articles now! What began as a normal prom in a small town southwest of Oklahoma City, became a surprise when Principal Kirk Moore received a crown of kingship after saving the lives students by bravely confronting a suspected Columbine inspired gunman. It was an amazing experience and it felt good knowing that we were giving him honor he deserved,” said junior Rachel Hamilton.Camera video released April 7 at Pauls Valley High School showed Moore being shot in the leg as he tackled the alleged gunman. He has been identified as 20-year old former student Victor Lee Hawkins. Hawkins was armed with two semiautomatic pistols when he entered the lobby of the school. He ordered students to the floor and tried to shoot one student, but his gun malfunctioned, and Moore stopped him. Hamilton said, “I believe there were many things that didn’t happen by chance.” It was God who was watching over us. “PASTOR SOUNDS AN ALARM ON THE ‘GODLESS GENEATION’ AFTER RESISTING A TEEN CARJACKER” In her interview with America Reports, she stressed that divine intervention prevented greater tragedies. Hamilton was walking through the courtyard around 2:20 pm CT, when Hawkins tried to attack. “I was walking and I heard a crash. You don’t think that it’s a gunman,” she said. She continued to the tennis courts as if it were any other day before learning Moore had died. “I was the lone person outside in the courtyard,” said she. “He could have come in that direction and there were no adult around. “OLD DOMINION UNIV ROTC CADETS DISARM AN ISIS SUPPORTER WHO SHOWS ‘ALLAHU AKBAAR’ DURING THE SHOOTING: OfficialsJunior Isaac Jacobson was made aware of the severity of the situation when it unfolded outside campus. Jacobson said that if the circumstances had been different, people could have died. If his gun hadn’t misfired, or if Moore hadn’t been there at that time, things might have been different. I can’t believe that God could have been involved in that situation with the sheer number of coincidences. “As he walked to his car at the end of a school day like any other, he saw an army of police officers rush into the building. The next hour was filled anxiety. Unable to contact his friends because of Oklahoma schools’ phone prohibition, which prohibits cell phones use from the first bell until dismissal, he worried the worst. Jacobson replied, “I’m just 17.” “I’m still not ready to lose all my friends.” He was relieved to find out that some of his friends avoided the office where the confrontation took place after they “stopped by to see a randomly selected teacher” instead. Jacobson said that everyone seemed to be celebrating the success of the prom. “It wasn’t like we weren’t over it. We were just happy about how it went.” “I went up to him [Moore] and thanked for everything because I hadn’t gotten that far. “It gives me hope that there are good people out there like Coach Moore, and others,” said Jacobson. “It gives hope that we can step in and this bravery will not be thrown away. According to court records Hawkins was charged with two counts for unlawful carry, two counts for pointing a gun and one count for shooting with the intent to kill. At his arraignment he pleaded not guilt and bail was set to $1 million. His preliminary hearing will be held on May 8.

Holiday told FOX 32 that he will invest in security upgrades. Very expensive. It costs thousands of dollars to change these windows.

Gates Foundation plans to cut up to 500 jobs while undergoing review of Jeffrey Epstein ties

NEWYou can now listen Fox News articles. The Gates Foundation did not specify whether the planned job reductions are related to the review. The job cuts were announced earlier this year in conjunction with the foundation’s annual budget planning.

The Department of Justice released in February more than 3,000,000 Epstein’s investigative files, including personal email. The emails reportedly revealed that Bill Gates had affairs with Melinda Gates while they were married and sought medication for a sexually transmitted disease without her knowledge. “I did nothing illegal.” Gates stated, “I saw nothing illicit.” The Wall Street Journal reviewed a recording of a townhall meeting.
