Missouri man charged with shooting at vehicles, wounding 6

JOPLIN (AP) — A southwest Missouri man is charged in two counties after shootings that wounded six people and two dogs in what police believe were random attacks.

Tom S. Mourning II, 26, of Joplin was charged Saturday in Jasper and Newton counties with multiple counts of armed criminal action, first-degree felony assault and unlawful use of a weapon. He was being held Sunday in lieu of a $1 million bond in Jasper County and a $300,000 bond in Newton County.

The incident began just after 5 a.m. Saturday when Mourning’s father called police to report shots fired in the duplex where he and his son lived.

Officers caught up with Mourning around 5:10 a.m. and were preparing to stop him 14 blocks from his home when he pulled up behind an Immanuel Lutheran Church van at an intersection and started shooting, police said.
