Background: Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio, Texas (Google Maps). Inset: Ashley Pardo (Bexar County Sheriff’s Office).

A Texas mother was allegedly helping her son carry out a mass shooting at the middle school he attended, telling police she supported his “violent expressions.”

According to an affidavit obtained by local CBS affiliate KENS, 33-year-old Ashley Pardo was arrested on Monday after authorities were notified of alleged threats made by her middle school-aged son, who police say had “a fascination with past mass shooters.” The affidavit stated that a relative, identified in the San Antonio Express-News as the boy’s grandmother, called the San Antonio Police Department’s behavioral threat team after finding a loaded rifle and pistol magazines in the home where she and the boy lived.

The grandmother also told detectives that before Pardo came to the home to pick up her son for school on Monday, he told her he was “going to be famous” and made a reference to “14 words,” an apparent nod to a popular white supremacist slogan.

The Express-News also reported that the grandmother found an improvised explosive device in the boy’s room that had a name written on it, as if the device was meant to target that person. She also reportedly found more white supremacist materials.

According to the affidavit, the grandmother told detectives that she had once caught her grandson hitting a live bullet with a hammer, seemingly hoping it would explode. She stopped him and asked him where he got the bullet, and he reportedly replied that his mother gave it to him.
