ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A student opened fire inside a Dallas-area high
school during a fight, injuring four people before he fled, authorities
said Wednesday.
The shooting happened at Timberview High School in Arlington, which is
part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Two people were shot and
two others had unspecified injuries, Arlington Assistant Police Chief
Kevin Kolbye said at a news conference.
Three of the four were taken to hospitals and the other person refused
treatment, he said.
Police were searching for the suspected shooter, whom they identified as
18-year-old Timothy George Simpkins. They said he might be driving a 2018
silver Dodge Charger with the license plate number PFY-6260.
“We feel confident that the shooter will be located very, very soon,”
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott told reporters during a visit to the Texas-
Mexico border hours after the shooting.
Kolbye said the shooting happened after a fight broke out.
“This is not a random act of violence," he said. “This is not somebody
attacking our school."
Timberview serves about 1,900 students in ninth through 12th grades. The
sprawling complex opened in 2004.
The shooting happened just days after a shooting at a Houston charter
school that injured an administrator. Texas’ deadliest school shooting
occurred in May of 2018 when a then-17-year-old armed with a shotgun and a
pistol opened fire at Santa Fe High School near Houston, killing 10
people, most of whom were students.
___
An earlier version of this story was corrected to reflect that the
suspect's last name is Simpkins, not Simpkin.
___
Bleed reported from Little Rock, Arkansas.
