Texas - The state has rested its case against Timothy Simpkins, who is accused in the 2021 shooting at Timberview High School in Arlington.
Simpkins is on trial in Tarrant County for multiple charges including three counts of attempted murder.
New cellphone video shown in court on Tuesday shows a different angle of the Timberview High classroom fight prior to the gunfire.
Former student Charli Johnson says shooting victim Zachius Selby approached her in the hallway and asked her to record the fight he was about to have with Simpkins.
"I stopped when Zachius started stomping on his head," testified Johnson. "It just got too serious."
Another recording from the school district hallway camera shows Selby going in the classroom and the frantic classroom exodus after shots are fired.
Arlington PD Violent Crimes investigator Shawn Wheatly describes the images of Simpkins running out firing, then focusing on Selby who is on the floor.
[PROSECUTOR: "The defendant, does it appear he’s pointing the gun?"]
"Yes it does. Zach’s attempting to stand up but he stumbles. Yes," said Wheatly.
Former student Shaniya McNeely, a state witness, started out in that classroom. She was watching and recording the fight.
"The fight stopped and then Timothy pulled out a gun then I just ran, I don’t know what happened after that," said McNeely.
McNeely says within seconds it went from being amusing to downright frightening. She wound up hit by gunfire.
"When I was running I felt a quick, really fast, just a real fast burn. That’s when I stopped, but a teacher kept telling me we’ve got to go, we have to go," said McNeely, who was grazed by a bullet on her left side.
The jury got a look at the GLOCK 45 pistol police recovered. Investigators say Simpkins had stashed it at his sister's apartment.
Charli Johnson testified she was dangerously close to being a victim herself as she ran away.
"I felt a bullet go past me and that’s when the trophy case broke. That’s when I turned the hallway," she said.
Outside the presence of jurors, defense attorneys showed the judge recent posts that Selby reportedly shared on social media showing news coverage of the trial, including a video of Simpkins sitting in court with the caption "let me get my popcorn and watch this sh**."
Selby was sworn in as a witness last week. He could face possible contempt charges.

A lot of teenagers are sadistic when it comes to watching two people fighting. Instead of breaking it up they laugh and circle around. Well, too bad you got hit too then...»
