So the 18-year-old student accused in a shooting at an ARLINGTON, Texas high school was released from jail Thursday after posting bond. Police accuse Timothy George Simpkins of opening fire in a classroom Wednesday at Timberview High School in Arlington. Two people were shot and two others suffered unspecified injuries. He was jailed on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The Police said the shooting happened after a fight, but Simpkins’ family said he had been bullied and robbed twice at school. His mother who was on video trying to justify why he made the decision to shoot up the people he did saying he was being bullied… Me as someone who was bullied in school I never took a gun or a knife to school. My parents put me in martial arts and I went in the following year and the first time the bullying started I kicked the persons ass. No need to go home grab a gun, and go back to shoot anyone. But when I was a kid we would fight it out and win or lose life went on.
