[5] The shooter was identified as Timothy George Simpkins, an 18-year-old senior black male student. [6] He fled the scene but turned himself in later that day. [7] Simpkins faced three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, [8] and on July 20, 2023, he was found guilty of attempted capital murder. [9] On July 24, 2023, Simpkins was sentenced to twelve years in prison. [10] The shooting prompted authorities to monitor video feeds in real time and conduct random canine searches in classrooms.
