[!CDATA[A mother in San Antonio was arrested for allegedly assisting her son in planning a targeted mass violence incident at his middle school. Ashley Pardo, 33, was charged with aiding in the commission of terrorism after purchasing ammunition and tactical gear for her son, who had a fascination with past mass shooters. The investigation began after drawings by the son were discovered, including a map of the school labeled "suicide route" and a sketch of a rifle. The boy was suspended after researching mass shootings in New Zealand and was later found in possession of an improvised explosive device and ammunition. The mother was aware of her son's behavior and supported his violent expressions and drawings, according to court records. She was released on a $75,000 bond. The school took immediate action to ensure the safety of its students and staff.]]
