The San Antonio Police Department arrested Ashley Pardo, 33, on Monday, May 12, on a charge of aiding in the commission of terrorism, according to court records. Pardo allegedly knew of her son's "fascination with past mass shooters" and "expressed to the school her support" of her son's violent expressions and drawings, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by MySA.

On Monday, her son showed up to school "wearing a mask, camouflage jacket and tactical pants," the affidavit stated. He was found off-campus and detained by police. He is being charged with terrorism, according to Rhodes Middle School.

On Sunday, May 11, a relative, who was caring for the student off and on, contacted law enforcement over concerns of items found in Pardo's son's possession. The affidavit stated the relative found a rifle, pistol ammunition, black tactical gear and an improvised explosive device made from a mortar-style firework in his room.

The family also found three loaded magazines and a note that had several names of mass shooters written on it, as well as various references to white supremacy and nazism. The student reportedly told his relative that he got the ammunition from his mother, who had been taking him to buy tactile gear in exchange for babysitting his younger siblings, according to the affidavit.

On Monday, before he went to school, the student told the relative he was "going to be famous" and referenced "14 words," a reference to white supremacist writings.

Back in January, Pardo's son was first contacted in reference to "drawings of the local school he currently attended," the affidavit said. These drawings included a map of the school -- labeled "suicide route" -- and the name of the school written beside a rifle, the affidavit said.

He was "subsequently suspended and later in the day attempted suicide with a straight razor causing significant injuries and requiring over 100 stitches," the affidavit noted. The boy attended an alternative school until May 7, according to officials.

Pardo had been aware of the threats made by her son, expressed to the school her support of his "violent expressions and drawings" and said she did not feel concerned for his behavior, according to the affidavit.

The boy's grandmother, with whom he sometimes stayed, is the one who sounded the alarm, bless her for doing so. This boy has been needing help for a long while sounds like. Maybe he'll get it with mom out of the picture
