Mom Charged after Buying Ammo for Teen Son Obsessed with Mass Killings, Police Say

The incident occurred in Texas

A Texas woman was charged with buying ammunition and tactical gear for her 13-year-old son, who police and school officials feared could carry out mass violence at his middle school, authorities said Thursday.

The boy, who had been suspended in April for allegedly researching mass shootings at school, was also arrested and charged with terrorism, San Antonio police said.

The case may be the first in the United States in which a parent has faced serious charges before their child has committed violence, said Nick Suplina, senior vice president of law and policy at the gun-control organization Everytown for Gun Safety.
