NEW: Three men arrested in Texas after shooting a youth baseball coach during a pregame prayer, local media reports.
The suspects, identified as Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, 23, Ahmad Mawed, 21, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah, 27, were arrested by the Waller County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities say the men were firing guns from a nearby pasture toward the baseball field.
The coach was shot in the shoulder while praying with his team before the game. Houston Warriors founder Andy Baize told KHOU 11, “He literally took the bullet for a child to his left, preventing a major tragedy. It’s still very emotional.”
The field, known as 'The Rac,' stated the men were “target practicing” 600-700 yards away. “People often shoot on their land. We were unaware of any activities in season at the time. We now know three individuals were target practicing,” they posted on Facebook, per NBC.
The coach was airlifted to a hospital and has been released.
The suspects face felony charges of deadly conduct with a firearm.
