James also had three pending cases in Bexar County for misdemeanor assault causing serious bodily injury, sources told our sister station KSAT.
There were arrest warrants out for him that had been issued almost two years ago, but he had not been taken into custody before the shootings.
According to police, the recent shootings started around 10:40 a.m. Tuesday when James allegedly opened fire outside of Northeast Early College High School, wounding an Austin ISD officer.

From there, investigators said James then shot and killed two people in an Austin neighborhood.
The suspect is also accused of shooting and wounding a cyclist. According to the chief, the cyclist has non-life-threatening injuries.
Police were then called to another home in southwest Austin for a possible home burglary.
When they arrived at the scene, that same suspect was accused of shooting and injuring an Austin police officer before leading authorities on a high-speed chase.
That chase ended in a crash and the suspect was eventually taken into custody.
When police returned to the home with the possible burglary call, they discovered two bodies inside.
Investigators are also connecting the suspect to a homicide in San Antonio where two people in their 50s were shot and killed inside their home.
The Austin ISD officer, Austin police officer, and cyclist are all expected to survive.
Authorities are working to determine if the suspect knew any of the victims before the shooting.
