Arlington school shooter is RELEASED on $75k bond: Gunman, 18, walks free one day after shooting 15-year-old 'bully seven times' - AND teacher during class brawl
Daily Mail ^

The teenage gunman who opened fire in an Arlington, Texas, school on Wednesday has been released on bond, a day after pulling a gun from his backpack and shooting a 'bully', a teacher and one other girl.

Timothy George Simpkins was being held on a $75,000 bond on three charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but the 18-year-old walked out of Tarrant County Jail on Thursday afternoon.

Simpkins said nothing as he strode out of the jail in a blue t-shirt, matching baseball cap worn backwards, and jeans.

It's unclear why he has been charged with aggravated assault and not attempted murder or more serious charges, or why the judge granted him bail.

A video of their fight was posted on social media by Simpkins' cousin on Wednesday night in an effort to prove that he was being bullied.

It shows Simpkins - who was identified by police as wearing a light colored hoodie in the footage - being pummeled by the other boy, who is three years his junior, while holding his hands around his head.

Once the fight was over, he went to his orange backpack, pulled out of his gun and started shooting.

He shot the other boy 'seven to eight times', according to one student who was interviewed by police, and also shot 25-year-old Calvin Pettitt, a teacher who had tried to break up the fight. Pettitt was shot in the back.

Both he and the 15-year-old boy remain in the hospital. Pettitt is expected to survive and is in a good condition but the 15-year-old boy is in critical condition.

A third victim - a teenage girl - suffered a graze wound but is no longer in the hospital.

"The person doing the beating WAS the shooter. The person taking the beating is the teacher who was later shot."

You're in Texas, and yet could you get it any more wrong?

Simpkins is the kid in the light grey hoodie getting his azz beat.

The teacher who was shot is lily white and nowhere in the video.

Geebus, what is wrong with some of you? This is the teacher who was shot -- Calvin Pettitt -- which you would have known had you actually read the story...

It was the gun’s fault?

The 15 year old is named ‘a bully’ so was he constantly tormenting this 18 year old?

If you've seen the video, the 18-year old is smaller and is getting the ever-loving sh*t beat out of him by the larger 15-year old.

Can you provide a link to the video to which you refer? The only video I see is that of the kid walking out of jail

The 7 or 8 rounds into the bully was just ‘F around and find out’.

The one into the teacher is attempted murder.

"The one into the teacher is attempted murder."

It is, isn't it, straight up. If they didn't consult Pettitt beforehand, then that is the Hand of Soros yet again.

When that f'er kicks off, I swear I am going to pass out candy in the neighborhood and ululate.

“The person doing the beating WAS the shooter. The person taking the beating is the teacher who was later shot.”

No. The one doing the beating was shot. Totally different hair style. Also matches what was said in article.

Did they give the kid a loaded AR on the way out the door and say...”Better luck next time.”?

Actually, it is not when one considers who he is. The “unbelievable” part kicks in if they do anything to him. Other than a suspended sentence. He will be robbing, gang banging, and slinging drugs by Friday night.

They were racists, so it was no crime.

With a gun he wasn’t supposed to have. Kyle Rittenhouse and I would like to know why no weapons charges were filed.

It would seem to me if he can shoot three people with little to no punishment, then the relatives of his victims can do the same to him and expect the same treatment, no?

I think you have it backwards.

I also wonder if the Tarrant Co. Atty. is Soros funded. Sounds improbable but not impossible there.

Tarrant Count is the home of Wendy Davis.
