A chilling case has stunned San Antonio, Texas, where police arrested 33-year-old Ashley Pardo on charges of aiding in the commission of terrorism. Police allege Pardo helped her teenage son plan a mass shooting at Rhodes Middle School. Authorities say Pardo supplied her son with firearms, ammunition, and tactical gear, fully aware of his violent intentions.
The plot came to light on May 12, 2025, when the boy’s grandmother discovered him striking a live bullet with a hammer. Further investigation revealed a cache of weapons, a makeshift explosive device, and a manifesto referencing past mass shootings and white supremacist symbols in his room, according to CNN.
