The mother of [a San Antonio Integrated School District] middle school student allegedly bought ammunition, magazines and tactical gear for her son, who had expressed a desire to carry out "acts of mass violence" at Jeremiah Rhodes Middle School, according to SAPD.

Ashley Pardo, 33, was arrested on Monday on charges of aiding in commission of terrorism, court records show. She bought the items "with knowledge" that they would be "used to plan and carry out" a crime.
...
On Sunday, a day before, a family member contacted SAPD about items found in the possession of Pardo's son, including a rifle and pistol ammunition, black tactical gear and an improvised explosive device made from a mortar-style firework.

The family member also stated they found three loaded magazines and a note that had several names of mass shooters written on it. Some of the items were inscribed with "14 words" and "SS" symbols -- references to white supremacy language and previous mass shootings, detectives said.

Pardo had previously been approached about her son’s behavior by local law enforcement, child protective services and school officials, police said.

Pardo "expressed to the school her support of (her son’s) violent expressions and drawings and does not feel concerned for his behavior," the affidavit states.

In January, the school became aware of drawings made by Pardo's son that featured the school’s name written beside a rifle and a map of the campus labeled "suicide route," according to authorities. There were timestamps written on the drawing.

Pardo's son was suspended in April after it was discovered he was researching the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting on a school-issued computer. He had "described a fascination with past mass shooters," the affidavit states.
...
Pardo was issued a $75,000 bond, which she posted on Tuesday and was released from Bexar County Jail, records show.

Suspending the kid for researching past shooters seems like a 1A violation to me.

Being proactive about his apparent plans to commit his own shooting makes a bit more sense. Note, however, that there's no report of a firearm anywhere, just ammo and mags.

After seeing a pic of her, I'm not surprised.

3rd paragraph tells of a rifle being found in his possession.

But the wording is vague, do they mean they found a rifle.  But also ammo for a pistol, or just the ammo for a rifle and piston.

I think the article is trying to say he had rifle and pistol ammo. The mom was arrested for buying ammo, not buying a rifle.
