Texas mom purchased ammunition and tactical gear for son as he planned 'mass violence' at school

2025-05-15

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Texas mom was arrested for allegedly purchasing ammunition and tactical gear for her son, who was accused of planning 'mass violence' at his San Antonio middle school.

Ashley Pardo,

…based on that photo, she looks like the kind of ambitious mama eager to give her son a leg up in the family business…

33, was arrested for aiding in the commission of terrorism after she allegedly made a slew of concerning purchases for her son, including ammunition magazines, a tactical vest, a helmet, and army clothing, according to an arrest affidavit.

The boy's grandmother told authorities that she found magazines loaded with live ammunition and an bomb with the words, 'For Brenton Tarrant,' written on it.

Tarrant is a white supremacist who was convicted of killing over 50 people praying at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019.

The grandmother also found a note with the names of mass shooters and their victims.

He allegedly told his grandmother that he was 'going to be famous' before Pardo picked him up from school on Monday morning, law enforcement told ABC News.

The motivation being fame rather than killing Moslems, but what about the apparent gang connection through his mother? Leaving it on Page 1: WoT for now.

The grandmother had seen the boy 'hitting a live bullet with a hammer' and he allegedly told her that Pardo purchased him 'guns and ammunition.'

Pardo had allegedly bought the gear for her son in exchange for babysitting his younger siblings, the arrest affidavit noted.
