ARLINGTON, TEXAS: The teenage gunman who opened fire in an Arlington school on Wednesday, October 6, was released on a $75,000 bond. While he celebrated at home, his victims fought for their lives in a hospital. Timothy George Simpkins, 18, who was being held on three charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, was released from Tarrant County Jail was on Thursday, October 7.
Simpkins did not utter a word as he walked out of jail, dressed in a blue t-shirt, a baseball cap, and a pair of jeans. It is not clear why he has been charged with aggravated assault, instead of attempt to murder or even more serious charges for his heinous crime. It is also unclear why he was granted bail by the judge. A relative of Simpkins later took to social media and shared videos from a family gathering inside a house, with Simpkins holding a baby and chatting away.
