A Texas mother with purple hair and a history of violent behavior is facing explosive new charges after allegedly arming her 13-year-old son in a foiled plot to unleash mass violence at his San Antonio middle school.
Ashley Pardo, 33, was arrested on Friday on a new charge of endangering a child with criminal negligence, just months after being accused of aiding in the commission of terrorism - the first person in Bexar County history to face such a charge.
According to court documents, Pardo purchased ammunition, tactical gear, and loaded magazines for her son, who authorities say drew chilling maps of his school marked 'su***de route,' idolized white supremacist mass shooters, and planned to carry out a massacre at Rhodes Middle School.
