New Bloomfield, Mo. – Two people are in critical but stable condition following a chainsaw attack at a central Missouri homeless shelter this weekend.
Twenty-eight-year-old Matthew Watkins is accused of wounding four people with a chainsaw and knife Saturday at the Mid-America Care Center in New Bloomfield.
The shelter is affiliated with Larry Rice's New Life Evangelistic Center in St. Louis.
Watkins had been staying at the shelter for a couple of weeks and was part of an on-the-job training program there.
He faces four counts each of first-degree assault and armed criminal action.
