Texas Mother Arrested for Allegedly Aiding Son’s School Shooting Plot
Ashley Pardo, a 33-year-old Texas mother, was arrested and charged with aiding in the commission of terrorism after allegedly providing her 13-year-old son with ammunition and tactical gear for a planned school shooting. The boy, who had a documented history of disturbing online posts, drawings depicting a “suicide route,” and research on past mass shootings, was apprehended off-campus. His grandmother alerted authorities after discovering live ammunition, a homemade explosive, and tactical gear in his possession. Pardo, aware of her son’s violent intentions, reportedly expressed no concern for his behavior.
