Pagourtzis' Father Is a Fan of the NRA's Dana Loesch
-snip-
Pagourtzis’ parents are Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos. Online records show that they were married in Texas in March 2000. At the time of their marriage, Pagourtzis’ father was 45, his mother was 30. Pagourtzis’ father, who is originally from Greece owns North American Marine. Antonios Pagourtzis says he is from the town of Magoulitsa in Kardhitsa, Greece, and now lives in Houston, Texas. The suspect’s mother works as an administrative associate in pediatric endocrinology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, according to a government salary database maintained by the Texas Tribune.
According to his Facebook page, Antonios Pagourtzis “likes” Dana Loesch, the conservative political activist and spokesperson for the National Rifle Association. In the wake of the Parkland school shooting in February 2018, Loesch publicly defended the NRA’s stance on assault rifles.
According to KPRC-TV, police were at a home on State Highway 6, about three miles from the school in Alvin, Texas, where records show Pagourtzis’ mother lives in a trailer. A deputy at the scene told the news station “there’s a bomb” at the house and a bomb squad was there. Police were also searching a second home about four miles away from the school.
Pagourtzis’ family has not commented about the shooting. A woman who answered the phone at a number associated with the suspect’s family told The Associated Press, “Give us our time right now, thank you.” It is not yet clear how Pagourtzis obtained the gun or guns used in the shooting.
