# Mansfield Timberview high school shooting

On October 6, 2021, a shooter opened fire into Mansfield Timberview High School. The shots were fired just after 9:15 a.m. The perpetrator, identified as an 18-year-old senior male student named Timothy George Simpkins, shot three people, including a student attending Mansfield Timberview High School, who was left in critical condition. Simpkins fled after the shooting and turned himself in later that day. The suspect faces three counts of attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and one count of unlawful carrying of a weapon in a prohibited place. This prompted authorities to monitor video feeds in real time and conduct random canine searches in classrooms.
