ARLINGTON — The “all clear” has been given at Timberview High School in Arlington after an active shooter situation Wednesday morning and suspected teenage gunman is in custody.
Police searched (snip) to find 18-year-old suspect Timothy George Simpkins. During an afternoon press conference police said he was at an Arlington police station, where detectives were speaking with him. The teen will be charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Arlington Assistant Police Chief Kevin Kolbye said Simpkins “turned himself in with an attorney”. A .45-caliber gun was recovered along England Parkway in Grand Prairie, about 2 miles from the high school.

A Black shooter guarantees that the pearl clutching media has already lost interest.

A photo in another article shows him in a car with a handgun in the door pocket of the open door. Clearly he had access to a gun.

Look at the stress this country is going through right now with covid etc. The other side's view is not accepted, gov't is rude to people who don't think like they think. There's just so much intolerance under this regime. I've never seen so much hate before and intolerance. Thanks, biden.

Being clean cut, and black, could just add to tensions with other students that aren't so clean cut and like to bully and threaten clean cut students. Sometimes they have to take things into their own hands because school officials sure as heck won't. Not saying this is the case here, but have seen that situation before.

Just one of Obozo's sons doing what they do. It's their culture.

Random first thoughts:
The shooter lawyered up real fast.
Rather than maximizing the damage he stopped shooting and left. Rare, but not unheard of.
The authorities and the school district seem to have acted quickly and skillfully. Chaos did not ensure.
The statements from both the authorities and school district could hardly have been more correct. 'escorted', 'reunified', 'methodical', 'united', 'secure', 'precaution', 'evacuated', etc.

One person seriously wounded, apparently the intended recipient. One adult, (teacher?) in 'good condition", which usually means a relatively minor, peripheral injury. One with a "bullet wound" which was actually called an abrasion, treated and released, likely with a bandaid. One was a woman who fell down, so not shot.
Starting to look like it might possibly be a very limited self defense shooting, possibly only one shot at one person, possibly with the other injuries from a pass through with a single non-expanding .45 bullet. Could be multiple shots, too, of course.
Info so far not fitting with the 'insane killer' or gang shooter kind of story.
We'll see what happens.

If you have been paying attention you know by now that personal self-restraint is not much of a trait in a big percentage of Black culture. That has nothing to do with skin color or race. Unfortunately the only people who can change that lack of self-restraint in Black culture today are Black people who reside in those communities, White people certainly can’t do that as long as the Black community believes that the White peole who come into their communities are just trying to get their children to “Act White” as Obama told the country. As it stands now there big elements mainly in the large inner-city Black “communities” who have no understanding of the personality trait of self-restraint and thus could kill you or injure you seriously utilizing what amounts to an illegal gun, knife, or other weapon, that’s just common sense.

This story is sad and terrible and doesn't end like I wanted it to. What we need is a happy story.
For example there is a happy story in Newnan GA right now(you can probably find it on the internet) where a young burglar (with a long record) broke into a house thinking no one was home. Turns out the pit bulls were home. He managed to get back outside to the front porch where he spent the rest of the afternoon assuming room temperature.

Doesn't look like a clean cut youth to me. Without all the facts, my money is on a single parent female, no father in the house or involved in any way. I won't buy he was bullied to justify the act.

Photo shows relatively clean-cut looking guy; video of his neighborhood showed a nice single family middle class neighborhood, well kept, decent cars. Not the typical gangbanger… Apparently had a beef with someone to the point where he packed a gun to school, they argued and he shot.
