Video captured the fight that led to a shooting Wednesday morning at Mansfield Timberview High School. Police arrested a suspect, 18-year-old Timothy Simpkins, after he turned himself in Wednesday afternoon.
Simpkins, who is a student, fired shots in a classroom after being involved in a fight with another student, police said. Video of the fight has been posted by other students on social media. Police said one student and an adult were shot and another student was grazed by a bullet. Another adult had minor injuries from a fall.
Arlington Assistant Police Chief Kevin Kolbye said the shooting was not “a random act of violence. This is not somebody attacking our schools. We believe this was a student who got into a fight and drew a weapon.”
