Texas Mom Arrested: Aided Son's School Shooting Plot

Texas Mother Arrested for Allegedly Aiding Son in School Shooting Plot A Texas mother, Ashley Pardo, 33, has been arrested and charged with aiding in terrorism after allegedly providing her teenage son with the means to carry out a mass shooting at a San Antonio middle school. Police say Pardo knowingly purchased ammunition and tactical gear for her son, despite repeated warnings from school staff about his disturbing behavior. The son, who attended Rhodes Middle School, had a history of violent drawings and an obsession with mass shootings, according to authorities. The plot was uncovered when the boy's grandmother discovered a homemade explosive device in his bedroom, which featured Nazi symbols and the phrase "14 Words," a common white supremacist slogan. "The only reason this sick and twisted plan got exposed was because of the teenager's grandmother," stated the narrator in the video. The school district says it acted swiftly to increase security once the threat was reported. Pardo is currently out on bond, with a court date set for July. This case underscores the importance of vigilance and the need for open communication between schools, parents, and law enforcement in preventing school violence.
