A Texas student accused of opening fire during a fight at his high school Wednesday morning, leaving four people injured, surrendered following a manhunt, police said.
Timothy George Simpkins, 18, was arrested on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after the shooting at Timberview High School in Arlington, Assistant Police Chief Kevin Kolbye said.
“This is not a random act of violence. This is not somebody attacking our schools,” Kolbye said at a press conference.
“This was a student, they got into a fight, and drew a weapon,” he added.
Police said Simpkins pulled out a weapon after getting into an altercation

Not a random act of violence, not somebody attacking the schools is the usual mealy-mouth police nonsense. The fact remains, the students were in class with an amoral psychopath who had no problem opening fire on a crowd, and there probably are more just like him.

The perp, an adult, male, biped sub-creatura africanus horribilis.; is a "The Forbidden Word", "The Word That Cannot Be Spoken", "The Word That WILL Not Be Spoken". We cannot speak "The Word", but we all are thinking it.

Drove to his home two miles away in a readily identifiable car. It was over fairly quickly. They believe they have the weapon he used. A 45. Pretty heavy-duty for a high school kid...

.45 is heavy-duty. One gunshot victim is in critical condition after surgery.

We had fights at my high school but they were fist fight. I saw one at football practice. Somebody would suffer a late hit and tempers would flare. The coaches would let a few blows exchanged, break it up and make the pugilists shake hands. That was usually the end of it. We also had fistfights on campus but not in the building. That meant suspension or expulsion. Every boy carried a pocket knife but no one would think of using one in a fight. This was in the fifties before integration in the South. I don’t know what the situation is now but it is certainly much, much worse. “Dis” someone now and out come the pistols.

There is video of the fight before the shooting, shooter is "small for 18" and got seriously whooped by a much larger kid who called him a "beyutch azz Ni---r"...though they have the same epidermal hue. IN a classroom.

There’s a video posted of this and it looked like a big “Amish” kid was beating the hell out of a scrawny “Amish” kid and the scrawny kid pulled out a gun and started shooting his attacker. Onlookers were the recipients of stray bullets:

I'm going to hold off on this one for a while. I was set upon by gangs of feral animals in school, and nothing I would have liked better than the means to not get the tar beaten out of myself. This may be justified self defense. No details in the article.

This may possibly be more complex than "black kid shoots up school in gang initiation" or similar sort of things seen too often. I think I will be listening to this one carefully, it may not be the standard fare.
The kid has a normal name, seems better dressed than the typical gang type. MIGHT possibly be the 'good kid' defending himself from the 'bad kids'......in a pretty ill advised manner, typical of what "seemed a good idea at the time" for an 18 year old. Even good 18 year olds make some really bad decisions. Still too soon to know, worth delaying judgement, I think.
I clearly remember at age twenty thinking back on some choices that I had made 2 or 3 years earlier with significant dismay, my new found maturity making it very clear that "that 18 year old" had made some bad decisions that "this 20 year old" would never make. My next thought was "and being twenty is unlikely to be the paragon of maturity", to my young self's credit, looking back from beyond 70 years.
18 year olds can be real knuckleheads under pressure, mature body, immature mind.

I'm baffled by the racist comments/implications.
Police said that school resource officers responded “within minutes” to the shooting.
That's hardly reassuring, is it?

'not a random act of violence'??? DUH??? "he was a student, he drew a weapon'.... really/ High School students usually do not draw a weapon unless they brought one from the outside and they intended to use said weapon if in a fight!!!!1

There does not appear to be a “White Supremacist” in sight, that fact must have disappointed the leftist and socialist Democrats!
