MAGAs gone wild. This Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr. - total MAGA nut. Man arrested in shooting of two Texas cheerleaders after one mistakenly got into the wrong car A man has been arrested after two Texas cheerleaders were shot, one critically, after one of them mistakenly got into the wrong car, according to police and the owner of the gym where they trained. Officers in Elgin, about 25 miles northeast of Austin, responded to reports of shots fired outside an H-E-B supermarket around 12:15 a.m. local time (1:15 a.m. ET) Tuesday, the Elgin Police Department said in a news release. "Information suggests that an altercation occurred in the parking lot of H-E-B, and multiple shots were fired into a vehicle," police said. Two of the car's occupants were struck by gunfire, with one victim sustaining serious injuries and transported by helicopter to a hospital, where they were listed in critical condition, police said. The suspect, Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr., 25, has been charged with deadly conduct, a third-degree felony, police said. Lynn Shearer, owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer Co., told NBC affiliate KXAN of Austin that the two people shot were cheerleaders who were on their way home from practice. Shearer said the cheerleaders typically carpooled from the Austin area to her gym. On Monday night, she said at least four cheerleaders were on their way back to the Austin area and had to stop at an H-E-B, where some of the members had parked their cars. One of the girls accidentally tried to get into the wrong car, Shearer said. That's when, she said, a "guy got out and they saw that he had a gun. And so they tried to speed off and he shot his gun, like five times or so into the car." Woodlands Elite did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment. The Elgin Police Department also did not immediately respond to an overnight request from NBC News seeking to confirm these details. According to ABC News, Heather Roth, a cheerleader with the Woodlands Elite, said in an Instagram Live post that she was the one who got out of her friend's car and opened the door of another vehicle she thought was her own, only to notice a man was in the passenger seat. She said she got out of the car and back into her friend's vehicle, the report said. Roth reportedly said the man approached their vehicle and she rolled down a window to apologize. That's when the man started shooting, she said, according to ABC News. The Instagram Live post was no longer available early Wednesday, but Roth shared a number of posts that appeared to be related to the incident. She did not immediately respond to overnight request for comment. Victim critically injured known as a 'role model' Shearer identified the cheerleader who was critically injured in the shooting as Payton Washington, of the Round Rock Independent School District. “She’s won every title there is to win in all-star cheerleading. She’s literally a role model for the kids in this industry throughout the country,” Shearer said. “Everybody knows her. She’s literally one of the very best that’s ever done this sport.” Messages of support for Washington have poured in on social media in the wake of the shooting, with a prayer organized by Woodlands Elite held Tuesday. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page organized by the Woodlands Elite Generals to help raise money to cover her hospital costs had raised more than $60,800 as of early Wednesday. The GoFundMe page said Washington was "stable in the ICU and will have a long road to recovery."
That man is a MAGA! You can tell he is! Just like all the MAGA in Chicago who shoot each other every weekend! They are all MAGA!

It is the underlined and bolded stuff. Sorry, that is firing-squad level shit there. You shoot some poor girl in her car trying to apologize to you? Then you get a bullet to the head. Stat. NO APPEAL! F this guy.
POS is lucky the girl will pull through, otherwise Texas would fry his ass. Hell, they may fry it still to send a "message about the border" for having a Spanish sounding name. The account's a bit fuzzy though...did she roll the window to apologize or they sped off, or apologized as they sped off? Not like it'd change things for me, but plenty of gun nutters would change their tune if this crew were males of the wrong color....they'd go out of their way to call it a good shoot since "they were trying to steal his car". Cheerleader Heather Roth said on Instagram Live that she and three of her teammates got to the lot just after midnight, ABC News reports. Roth opened the door to a car that she thought was hers, but saw a man sitting in the passenger seat and quickly retreated to her friend's car instead. She said the man approached their vehicle, and she had just rolled down her window to apologize when he started shooting. Shearer told NBC affiliate KXAN that once the girls saw he had a gun "they tried to speed off and he shot ... five times or so into the car."
