This is so wonderful to see.
Last week, a high school principal in Oklahoma performed a brave act of heroism that saved countless students’ lives.
Despite getting shot in the leg himself, he tackled a would-be school shooter to a bench and held him down until it was safe again.
We covered the original story here:

Principal Kirk Moore was hospitalized after the incident. He was the only person to be injured by the shooter.
But, now, I am happy to report that he is doing well and has made a triumphant return to the school.
In an act of gratitude, the students awarded him with the coveted Prom King title!

Sustained injuries, but he is back. 🔥
ADVERTISEMENTNow give him the Presidential MEDAL OF FREEDOM!
God Bless Principal Moore.
What a legend!
Those kids are lucky to have such an amazing man as their principal.
It's crazy to think that, without Principal Moore's brave actions, they might not even be having a prom tonight.
There are no words for the amount of courage and love he showed for his students and the type of man he is.... he is a blessing to this world.

Does he deserve it?
