(CNN) A high school football and track coach in Portland, Oregon, was celebrated as a hero earlier this year after he disarmed a student with a shotgun.

The student walked into a classroom at Parkrose High School in May, intending to use the firearm to take his own life, the Multnomah County District Attorney's office said in a statement last week.

At the time , reports said the coach, Keanon Lowe, tackled the student. But according to emotional surveillance footage released by the district attorney's office Friday, Lowe did nothing of the sort.
