(Arlington, TX) — Cell phone video of what’s believed to be the fight which led to a Mansfield school shooting is up on social media.

The video shows a student in a dark shirt throwing another student to the ground, picking him back up, and slamming him into a white board.  An adult can be heard in the background asking for help.  Arlington Police confirmed the video of the Timberview High School brawl existed.  However, it does not show the actual shooting.  Timothy Simpkins surrendered Wednesday afternoon with his attorney.

The 18-year-old is charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and remains jailed on a $75,000 bond.  A 15-year-old student was hospitalized in critical condition, a 25-year-old teacher was also wounded and is in stable condition.  Two others sustained minor injuries.
