BREAKING: Timothy Simpkins sentenced to 12 years in prison, must pay $6K fine
Timothy Simpkins faced up to life in prison for the 2021 shooting at Mansfield Timberview High School.
"First, I just want to say I’m sorry for my actions. I know they were wrong and horrible. There’s no justifying that," he said.After a violent classroom brawl, Simpkins pulled a gun from his waistband and fired toward the student who’d attacked him. Zacchaeus Selby was shot twice more after he’d fallen to the floor in the hallway. Selby, another student and a teacher were injured and survived.
The jury decided Simpkins was not in fear of his life when he pulled the trigger despite such claims made by his defense team. Prosecutors say Simpkins’ reaction, angry and threatening text messages and internet searches that followed led up to the school shooting.A teen who opened fire in a North Texas school, wounding three people, will soon learn how long he will spend behind bars.
