The victim refered to as T.M. in court documents, made her way back inside the house to her son's room and told him, "I'm going to die, he stabbed me."
T.M.'s son feared his mothers wounds were life threatening so he drove her to a central location to meet an ambulance. T.M. was transported to Skaggs hospital then transferred to a Springfield hospital with serious injuries.
