The suspect, Timothy George Simpkins, 18, was arrested Wednesday on three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly opened fire at Timberview High School.
He turned himself in to police following an hourslong manhunt after he fled the school.

A second witness said several teachers and coaches intervened in the fight and after it was broken up, Simpkins went into an orange backpack and pulled out a firearm. The witness told authorities that she saw Simpkins point the weapon at the person he had been fighting and fire several shots.Cinthy Wheat, Simpkins' cousin, said he had been bullied and was robbed about a week ago by a group of kids.
