Families depart the Mansfield ISD Center For The Performing Arts Center, where families were reunited with Timberview High School students following the shooting.
Simpkins' family claimed he acted in self-defense, saying Selby had bullied him — but Selby’s family has refuted the accusation.
Footage of the fight reportedly "shocked" the Selby family.
"We’ve seen the video ourselves," Kathy Selby, the victim's grandmother, told FOX 4 News. "We were shocked to see the video because we’ve never ever seen him that way before. I've never seen him fight with even his sister or his older brother. He’s a mild-mannered, soft-spoken child."
