It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon in Houston and you're at your kid's baseball game. The coach is leading the players in prayer before the first inning. Then you hear the shots.
Houston Warriors founder Andy Baize said the injured coach was saying a pregame prayer with their team.
'He literally took the bullet for a child that was to his left, and so thankfully we avoided a major disaster. Still very, very emotional over it,' Baize told KHOU 11.
The three suspects, Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, Ahmad Mawed, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah did not appear to be targeting the game. They had apparently been shooting in a nearby field all weekend when their bullets started flying into Ameripark youth baseball field.
This begs the question: Why were young Muslim men practicing with guns in a random Texas field?
There are plenty of gun ranges in Texas.
There are plenty of landowners who have set up ranges on their properties with proper backstops.
Why did these Arab Muslims feel it necessary to avoid those places and secretly set up in a random field near a sports complex?
Also, what is their immigration status? Depending on the answer to that question, how did they get firearms?
All three men have been charged with felony discharge of a firearm, with bail set at $100,000. The injured coach was released from the hospital the same day and is expected to make a full recovery.
