An heroic Oklahoma high school principal shot tackling a Columbine-obsessed school shooter was crowned prom king and hailed by students for saving their lives.

Pauls Valley High School students gave Kirk Moore the touching prom night tribute Friday night – just weeks after he was shot in the leg while fearlessly wrestling down an armed ex-pupil who stormed into the school lobby with two loaded semi-automatic pistols, according to the NY Post.

A now-viral clip shows the principal high-fiving cheering students while walking through the overjoyed crowd after the DJ declared him “our king” and blasted Nickelback’s “Hero.”
