JOPLIN, Mo. (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 $1 million bond in Jasper County and $300,000 bond in Newton County.

The van was on its way to St. Louis for a meeting about the church's comfort dog ministry, the Joplin Globe (http://bit.ly/2bfMciv ) reported.
The driver of the van, Kenneth Eby, was shot in the lung and was in critical condition Saturday night at an area hospital. Joplin police spokesman Capt. Bob Higginbotham said Sunday he would have been notified if Eby's condition had gotten worse, but he hadn't.
