A Texas mother has been arrested for allegedly buying ammunition and tactical gear for her son who she knew was planning “mass targeted violence” at his school, officials said.
Prosecutors say Ashley Pardo, 33, was aware of her son’s obsession with violence, and “intentionally and knowingly aided” his violent goals in exchange for him babysitting his younger siblings.
On Monday, the student showed up to Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio “wearing a mask, camouflage jacket and tactical pants but left shortly after”, police said. He was later detained off-campus.
