FORT WORTH, Tx.- An 18-year-old student was indicted on attempted murder and aggravated assault charges in an Oct. 6 shooting at a Dallas-area high school, injuring two students and a teacher.
The Tarrant County grand jury indictment also charges Timothy George Simpkins with unlawfully carrying a weapon in a prohibited location at Timberview High School, which is in Arlington but belongs to the school district in neighboring Mansfield.
The police says Simpkins opened fire in a classroom after a fight with a 15-year-old student, who is among those injured.
Simpkins’ family said he had been bullied and robbed twice at school. Simpkins’ attorney, Lesa Pamplin, declined to comment on the allegation.
