A Different Light On The Shooting At Texas Baseball Tournament

 On Saturday I published a short post about a shooting at a baseball tournament in Texas, where the rifle fire came from three Muslims. The news reports at the time reported the shooters as being recreational shooters, giving the impression that the incident was an accident. But the Daily Wire, in its piece entitled "Middle Eastern Men Accused Of Shooting Baseball Coach During Prayer Were Let In To U.S. Under Biden" has updated this story and it now appears to have been a deliberate attack. From the article:

     Three men opened fire on the Ameripark youth baseball field in Katy, Texas, on Sunday from a nearby pasture, shooting the coach in the shoulder, according to the Waller County Sheriff’s office. The three suspects — Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, 23, Ahmad Mawed, 21, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah, 27 — have been charged with deadly conduct and are each being held on $100,000 bond.

     Mohammad Matalgah of Jordan was given American citizenship on Aug. 1, 2023, despite having prior arrests for drug possession, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire. Mawed, a Lebanese immigrant, entered the United States on an IR-2 visa — which is given to children of American citizens — on June 3, 2021, automatically granting him a green card.

    “This horrific act of terror firing on children praying before the start of a baseball game is pure evil,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “These individuals from high threat countries were let in by Biden. They clearly were not vetting the aliens they were letting legally enter our country and even become U.S. citizens.”

 We'll see if terrorism charges follow, but shooting at the kids and the coach while they prayed is definitely suggestive of this being an incident of Islamic terrorism.
