(The Center Square) – Three Muslim men have been charged in connection to a shooting at a youth baseball complex in Katy, Texas, a suburb west of Houston.

Shots were fired into the Ameripark youth baseball field, known as “The Rac,” when a youth baseball tournament was being played. Video obtained by KPRC 2 NBC News shows adults and children running away from the fields; “12-year-old Texas Colts players in light blue jerseys [were] running frantically for cover as bullets flew past them,” the news outlet reported.

A 27-year-old coach was struck in the shoulder, taken to the hospital and released. He was saying a pregame prayer with the team and when shots were fired, got down on the ground and covered players with his body, KHOU 11 News reported.

Days after the shooting, the Waller County Sheriff’s Office announced three suspects were in custody: Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, 23; Ahmad Mawed, 21; and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah, 27. None had U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer holds, according to county jail records.

Each were charged with deadly conduct, discharge of a firearm, a felony offense. Each were held on low $100,000 surety bonds; only Mawed’s bond remains active.

While some have characterized the shooting as “recreational” or “target shooting,” others have raised concerns about Islamic violence in Texas. Recent high profile arrests in Houston include members of the Iranian National Guard, and an ISIS-linked Houston man who was indicted for planning an 9/11 style terrorist attack, The Center Square reported.

The shooting also occurred after Gov. Greg Abbott ceremonially signed a bill into law this month to ban Sharia law and Sharia compounds in Texas. Sharia law is based on Islamic texts that prescribe civil and criminal laws and penalties for followers.

Surely even if they are “legal” they can be deported? Having committed felonies?

This has been an issue only temporarily highlighted post 9-11 and then quickly buried in the Obama era.

Seek you shall find:

Our government: If you look away or re-define, you’ll never find.

We don’t want to see the problem. It doesn’t fit in our societies values of diversity, inclusion, tolerance. Most people are secular, ignorant about Islam and the world outside the US, they can’t even understand the problem.

The question is only is people will open their eyes before it’s to late, as with France.
