The three suspects, Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, Ahmad Mawed, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah, said they were 'hunting' (yeah right) in a field next door to the sports complex. They just happened to fire the shot during a 'Christian' prayer. Funny how that worked out.

The clip below is from a neighboring baseball field, but you can hear the shots and see people fleeing.

27-year-old coach hospitalized after being struck in shoulder at field in Katy, Texas

KATY, Texas — Charges have been filed against three men in connection with a shooting on Sunday, September 21, at The Rac Katy on FM 2855. It happened as youth baseball player and coaches were on the field.

A coach for one of the teams is recovering after he was shot during a weekend baseball tournament there.

Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, 23, Ahmad Mawed, 21, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah, 27, were arrested on felony charges of deadly conduct with a firearm. A judge set their bonds at $100,000 each.

According to the Waller County Sheriff’s Office, the three suspects fired guns from a nearby pasture in the direction of the field.

'He literally took a bullet for a child'

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.

Baize said the coach was shot in the shoulder.

“When he was struck by the bullet, his first reaction was to get down to the ground, cover his kids and get them to a safe space,” Baize said.
