Timothy George Simpkins is an 18-year-old Texas student who has been identified as the suspect wanted in a shooting at Mansfield Timberview High School in Arlington, Texas.

Four people were injured and three were taken to the hospital after the shooting on Wednesday, October 6, 2021, police said.
Two were hospitalized with gunshot wounds. One victim suffered minor injuries and refused treatment at the scene, police said.

Kolbye said about Simpkins, “If anyone comes across this individual please do not make contact with him.
