Texas high school shooter Timothy Simpkins found guilty of attempted capital murder

Texas high school shooter Timothy Simpkins was found guilty of attempted capital murder Thursday for a 2021 shooting that injured three people.

According to Fox 4, the jury deliberated for most of the day Thursday in the trial of Simpkins for the Oct. 6, 2021 shooting at Timberview High School in Arlington, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Before the case was handed to the jury, the defense and prosecutors argued over whether self-defense could be considered as a justification for the shooting. But late Wednesday, the judge decided it could not and ordered the jury to not consider it.
