police say a student, 18-year-old timothy simpkins turned himself in.andera has more. >> reporter: 18-year-old timothy has been charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a shooting erupted here wednesday morning at timber view high school in arlington, texas. investigators say the shooting started after an altercation and a fight between two students inside one of the classrooms on the second floor of the school. investigators say that there were four victims in all. three of those victims had to be taken to a hospital. one of those victims had to go through several hours of surgery. that person was a student. but the good news is we are told that all of the victims in this shooting will survive, that they will be okay. one of them included also a teacher here at the school as well. investigators say that just after 9:00 on wednesday morning, a teacher had signalled a distress call, and that is when officers on the campus started racing to the classroom where this fight was going on. and that's when they heard the gunsho

there's at least two violations of law here by this suspect, identified by police as timothy george simpkins, as you said, 18 years old, that's the first problem. in september there was a law that removed carry permit restrictions on handguns. so if you're over the age of 21 in texas you're allowed to carry a handgun on your person with certain restrictions without having to get a permit. obviously with this individual being 18 years of age, that's violation number one, that they were carrying a weapon. but the other violation, number two, whether he's 18, 28, or 88, you cannot carry a gun onto school property in the state of texas. so that's two violations. there's also some federal restrictions when it comes to guns on campuses as well, hallie. so there's at least two violations of state firearm law here on top of that. obviously police will presumably charge him with charges relating to the firing of that gun and the injuring of those people there. it would not necessarily be illegal for him to purchase the gun but certainly carrying it and bringing it on school grounds, that's a no-no. >

shooter that they're looking for for a high school shooting this morning is 18 year-old timothy simpkinssay that the they've got from kids and students and video is that he came into his high school this morning got into a fight and then ended up pulling up of pulling out a gun firing off shots and taking off. yeah. apparently teachers students in the room. >> as he was firing rounds and a round-of. so they're still looking for him this morning, but they're confident enough that the campus is secure, that they brought buses on now and there now escorting students out of that building and onto those buses to be taken away to a reunification location. so they can once again. brought to their parents and taken home safely. everybody traumatized by this whole thing. we just saw press conference live with the police giving us the update. all we know about the victims is that there are 3 people in the hospital. >> and one of the people huit we do know is a 15 year-old that we don't know much beyond that. we'll keep you posted. they're still looking for the 18 year-old who police say fired off
