The shocking moment when a gas main bursts on a farm in the village of Wessington near Alfreton has been captured on a video made available to Nottinghamshire Live. Firefighters and gas experts attended the scene and access to the area for vehicles was blocked for several hours. The footage shows a fencing contractor carry out some work on a farm off Brackenfield Lane when things suddenly take an explosive turn.

The incident occurred on the morning of Tuesday, June 21, and it is believed to be the incident that resulted in residents from 30 nearby homes evacuated from the area as gas poured from the ruptured pipe, reports Derbyshire Live.

Alan Brown, a Wessington resident who captured the dramatic video on his home CCTV system, said: "It’s from my CCTV. It’s my property to the edge but the field belongs to the farmer. The guy in the video is apparently a fencing contractor to the farmer. In some of my longer footage you can see him running down the field so I think he’s ok."

At the time of the incident Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said that the risk of the leaking gas igniting meant that they would have to stay away from their homes for several hours as the scene was made safe.

The gas distribution network Cadent confirmed on Tuesday that the damage was caused after the gas pipe was hit by a third party. Derbyshire Live understands that the individual in the footage was not badly hurt after the gas pipe was broken.

A spokesperson said: "Cadent engineers worked through the night on an emergency repair after a pipe was hit by a third party on Brackenfield Lane in Wessington on the morning of 21 June. Our teams have made everything safe and remain on site to complete the repair work.

"There has been no interruption to the local gas supply. Households that were evacuated yesterday as a safety precaution have now been able to return home. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience.

"This was a great response by the emergency services, including our team, in making sure everyone was kept safe. If you ever smell gas, here or anywhere, it is important to act immediately and call the national gas emergency service on 0800 111 999. All calls are recorded and may be monitored."

thought i'd share this with you all, little portrait to start my day

Yo, this is @Joseph_Stalin and welcome to History with Stalin. I am your host and today we will be discussing the beginning and end of the British Empire and how it grew from a casual European power to an infamous colonial entity.

During the 16th Century, the British had been removed from mainland Europe. This formed a pathway for the British to focus on expansion and further development in their territories and when Queen Elizabeth sent out the first expeditions to Roanoke Island, weirdly enough by 1590 the entire colonialist population had been depleted mysteriously. Many stock companies were founded to manage trade and colonial management such as The Levant Company founded in 1592 and the East India company founded in 1600 were granted monopolies on all English trade.

When Elizabeth I died in 1603 the throne of England passed to James I of Scotland, upon his ascension to the throne James became king of Scotland and England at once, however the two kingdoms remained distinct were ruled separately, but as King he wanted to build further into the attempts of Elizabeth to establish overseas settlements to be ruled under one of the three types of colony structure.

A crown colony was directly ruled by the king but would often be ministered by a selected royal governor, a charter colony was similar but was ruled under a corporate charter. These colonies often granted colonists more political liberty, a Proprietary colony was ruled by a joint stock company, these were distinct from crown colonies as they were commercial enterprises to share holders, Proprietary governors often lived outside of their colonies so they appointed local councils or governors. Over time however these Proprietary colonies phased out of existence and were replaced by Crown colonies due to their instability.

• Part one will be added tomorrow, we will talk about this more, for now enjoy.

looks like someone shit on his pants

FORT WORTH, Texas - The state has rested its case against Timothy Simpkins, who is accused of 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.

Prosecutors say Simpkins intended to kill his classmate, Zachius Selby, following a violent fight between the two teenagers.

The state says the fight was over, but Simpkins still decided to pull out the firearm he brought to school.

The defense claims Simpkins was using self-defense.

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 into the classroom and the frantic classroom exodus after shots are fired.

State rests its case in Timberview HS shooting trial

Testimony continues today in the trial of a student accused of shooting and injuring three people inside a North Texas high school. The defense will begin presenting its case after lunch.

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 being 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.

There's been nothing presented in court about why Selby wanted to pick a fight with Simpkins.

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**."

Defense attorneys also say Selby sent a message to another witness, who considered the message a threat.

Selby was sworn in as a witness last week. He could face possible contempt charges.

Testimony adjourned early Tuesday due to a defense witness who was not available.

When the trial continues Wednesday you can watch the trial live on FOX4News.com and the FOX 4 YouTube Channel.

On Monday, Simpkins pleaded not guilty to the three counts of attempted murder, as well as three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of unlawful carrying a weapon in a prohibited place.

His defense team chose not to present any opening statements but used the fight video to argue he was bullied at school.

Two teachers who broke up the fight back in October of 2021 testified on Monday.

One of them was shot in the back as he was running away. The bullet is still in his chest two years later.

Another teacher said she was traumatized by the shooting and has not been able to teach in a classroom since then.

Simpkins was reportedly offered a plea deal. No details of the deal were released after he and his lawyers turned it down.

Timberview High School shooting leaves four injured; suspect arrested

ARLINGTON, Texas - A suspect is in custody for a school shooting that left four people hurt at Timberview High School in Arlington on Wednesday morning.

Arlington police confirmed the school shooting started as a fight between a student and another individual around 9:15 a.m. One student then drew a weapon and fired an undetermined amount of shots.

Three people were taken to the hospital, two with gunshot wounds. They include a 15-year-old male in critical condition, a 25-year-old male in good condition and a teenage girl in good condition who will be discharged soon.

A pregnant teacher was also hurt in a fall but was treated at the scene and not hospitalized, police said.

The school is in the city of Arlington but in the Mansfield school district.

The gunman, identified as 18-year-old Timothy George Simpkins, turned himself in Wednesday afternoon with his attorney.

Arlington police said Simpkins was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They recovered the .45 caliber gun.

"We had some communication with his attorney," said Arlington Police Asst. Chief Kevin Kolbye. "He did report to an attorney he was talking to our homicide detectives he drove him to our police station we took him in to custody."

Simpkins is currently being held in jail on a $75,000 bond.

The alleged gunman’s family says they are not justifying him bringing a gun but hope the investigation will reveal more about the circumstances.

Arlington SWAT entered Simpkins’ home hours after police say he shot multiple people at the high school.

The Grand Prairie police chief says the alleged gun the shooter used was found in the street a few miles away from the campus.

All afternoon, Simpkins’ mother waited outside while police searched the family's home. She declined an on-camera interview, but she stood by with other relatives as a family spokeswoman gave a brief statement and answered a few questions from reporters.

"The decision he made, taking the gun, we are not justifying that. That was not right," said family member Carol Harrison Lafayette. "But he was trying to protect himself. We hope the police department does the investigation properly."

Lafayette says the fight stemmed from what they call ongoing, documented incidents between Simpkins and other students. Those claims have not been confirmed by Mansfield ISD or police.

Simpkins reportedly fled the school in a 2018 silver Dodge Charger. Multiple agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Marshals, were looking for him and investigating the case.

Police said while they tried to locate Simpkins, officers were dealing with fake threats from other campuses.

"I have high confidence there was only one shooter at this school," said Kolbye. "Our heart goes out to the injured and all the students who went through the traumatic event at this school."

"As a law enforcement officer and then as a parent with a student in Arlington ISD, this is kind of your scariest moment when this happens not only what you do for your job but when you have a wife who is a teacher and several kids that go to school in the district," said Jeff Boshek with the ATF Dallas Field Division. "As soon as we get this information on the firearm we're going to track it down. We'll figure out where this individual got it from. Our agents won't sleep. We're going to figure out where he got this weapon in his hands to come into this school to cause this tragedy today. To all the victim families, you're in our thoughts and our prayers."

What we know about the Timberview High School shooting

Police said Timothy George Simpkins, an 18-year-old student at Timberview High School, was in a fight with another student and drew a weapon.

Four people were hurt and three were hospitalized. Two were taken in for surgery because of gunshot wounds.

A 15-year-old male is in critical condition. Another teenage girl and a 25-year-old male are in good condition.

A pregnant teacher fell and was injured. She is okay.

There were already two Mansfield ISD officers on campus and they were able to respond immediately.

The school was cleared and the district reunited students with their parents at the Mansfield Performing Arts Center.

The ATF is investigating to find out how and where Simpkins got the gun.

He was arrested Wednesday afternoon after a statewide manhunt.

Simpkins is charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

There will be no school for students on Thursday. Counselors will be made available.

Students and parents fear the worst

Just minutes after the first reports of gunfire at the school, parents raced toward Timberview High but were advised to stay away. A nearby arts center became the official meetup spot for families.

The Mansfield Independent School District said the campus was placed on lockdown during the active shooter incident. All students and staff were locked in their classrooms and offices and no visitors were allowed on campus.

Parents desperate for information clung to their cell phones.

"I had her also text me the names of all the kids that were in the closet with her," said parent Jacinta Mitchell.

The lockdown was followed by a monumental task of moving more than 1,500 students safely from the campus to a designated meeting point.

"I just got back from work. I was trying to relax when I got this text message from my daughter," said Akhere Isenalumhe, whose daughter is a sophomore. "We are all confused. We just don't know what's going on. This is just too close to home. We never thought something like this would happen right here in our backyard so."

Some parents were smiling with joy when they went to pick their children up. Some couldn’t speak, they could only cry.

Hundreds of parents lined up at Mansfield ISD’s Center for the Performing arts, never knowing what it felt like to wait while their child was at the center of a school shooting, until now.

"I love my baby. I love my baby girl," Frank Earl said.

Earl recalled a frightening text message from his daughter.

"So when I was looking at my phone, all I can see was, ‘We hiding, they shooting at the school,’" he said.

There were happy reunions but also heart-dropping accounts of what some students went through.

"My teacher actually got shot. He was hurt in the process," said student Antonio Holloway. "It was a fight, and it was very loud outside the class. And another teacher was talking about she needed help handling the fight. My teacher left the classroom to go assist her. A little bit after that, we heard a bunch of shots go off. So everybody in my class, we just turned all the lights off and held the door closed."

"At the time, I was in the hallway. And all of a sudden, I just heard, ‘Gun! Gun! Go! Go! Go!’" recalled Marian Moore. "I was on my way to the vending machine, so I just took off running with my friend Andrea."

Damion Paulhill said he was running late to class when he saw the fight break out in a second floor classroom.

"Next thing, you know, I looked out to the left of me and I seen like the glare of the gun," he recalled.

Chasity Turner was in the classroom next door.

"We heard gunshots and I was just like, ‘Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. So we all ran to the other side of the classroom. We heard glass breaking and he continued to shoot, and I called my mom and I told her I love her and I hung up the phone because it was time for me to stop talking," she said.

Jaeden Marshall said he wanted to protect his classmates and himself.

"We had me and two or three other students hold the door. That’s all we could really do in that situation," he said. "Just making sure nobody got in. I just wanted to stay alive."

There was little time to think.

"People running, screaming, teachers begging for help," Zacaryia Fair said.

Some who didn’t hear gunfire questioned if there was actually a shooting.

"Until our principal came on the intercom and said lockdown, then that’s when everybody started crying screaming, so we immediately went to the hiding spots in the back parts of the room," Taelor Earl said.

As scary as it was for students, their parents and family members felt even more helpless.

"I was nervous. My heart was pounding. My wife’s heart was pounding. She was crying," Ontario Hewitt Sr. said.

Parents spent hours of waiting on edge, watching for developments.

"I feel like Mansfield did the best they could with organizing the parents and guardians getting to the kids," said Ashley Holloway, a student’s sister. "So I was really understanding was that the wait was long, but I think they were doing their best with the short time they had to plan."

"I honestly thought the worst. You see, in the news, all these shootings going on at other schools, other states, and you never imagine, or you can’t imagine something going on, feeling the feeling the other parents feel," another parent said.

It was announced later Wednesday that there would be no school at Timberview High School Thursday so the community has time to heal. All after-school activities scheduled for Thursday will also be canceled.
