The September 26 edition of Tablet’s The Scroll draws attention to a story I would have missed but for its note. On Thursday, three men—Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, Ahmad Mawed, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah—were arrested after firing guns toward a youth baseball field in Houston, causing players and coaches to flee for cover, according to Fox News.
One coach was shot while shielding the boys; the bullet struck his shoulder, and he was taken to a hospital to recover. “He literally took the bullet for a child that was to his left, and so thankfully we avoided a major disaster,” said Andy Baize, the founder of the team.
The three suspects were arrested on felony charges of deadly conduct with a firearm, the Waller County Sheriff’s Office said. They are each being held on $100,000 bond.
The cited Fox News story adds details without shedding any light. Who are these guys? Are they “Texas men”? What is going on here? The Fox News story includes the photo of the defendants below.
