ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Authorities say an 18-year-old opened fire inside a Dallas-area high school, leaving four people injured before fleeing.

The shooting happened at Timberview High School in Arlington, which is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

Authorities say the shooting happened after a fight broke out in the school.

Police are searching for the suspected shooter, whom they identified as Timothy George Simpkin.

They say he might be driving a 2018 Silver Dodge Charger with license plate PFY-6260.

Arlington Assistant Police Chief Kevin Kolbye says two of the four injured people were shot.

Three of the four were taken to hospitals and the other person refused treatment.
