A 15-year-old charged in the shooting into and around Payne Elementary School on Oct. 25 will not face those charges as an adult.

The child was one of two charged in the incident.

Xavier Thompson, 17, is being held as an adult in the Dallas County Jail under a $2 million bond.

Fourth Judicial District Attorney Michael Jackson said because Thompson was 17 at the time of the crime involving a firearm during the commission of a Class B felony, he is automatically treated as an adult.

The Selma Times-Journal obtained a copy of the order with all identifying information of the child removed from the pages. The order was signed Dec. 7.

The youth, whose identity will remain unknown because of laws regulating juvenile courts, will face “significant consequences and punishment for his actions, including, but not limited to, remaining in detention and commitment to the Department of Youth Services as a serious juvenile offender, which carries with it a two-year confinement at DYS,” state an order signed by Dallas County District Judge Bob Armstrong.

The shooting occurred outside Payne Elementary after the school day had concluded, but teachers had gathered in the school’s library for a meeting.

Nobody was injured in the shooting, which saw four windowpanes damaged at the school; three in the library, where the teachers met, and one in an unoccupied classroom.

Court records show police recovered three .22-caliber shell casings from the scene.

The order points out the 15-year-old is a “young” 15-year-old, standing 5-feet, 6-inches and weighing 137 pounds.

A background investigation by the chief juvenile probation officer reveals the juvenile “is not a leader and easily influenced by peer pressure.”

This was the child’s first charge. The chief juvenile probation officer recommended the judge not certify the 15-year-old as an adult.
