US soldier watches over video chat as pregnant wife is stabbed El Paso police said it appeared Moss owed the Pooles money after damaging their car and that seemed to be the motive behind the attack. Moss arrived at the house on Wednesday evening but when no one came to the door he allegedly broke in and hid, clutching a stainless steel knife. Mrs Poole returned home and was talking to her husband when the frenzied attack began at around 7pm on Wednesday. She recognised her attacker and began to scream his name as her husband looked on in horror. From thousands of miles away, Mr Poole contacted fellow soldiers at Fort Bliss, who confronted Moss as he arrived back at the base. They found a bloodied knife and he was later arrested by military police. He has been charged with attempted murder. Mr Poole was rushed back from his overseas deployment and charted his wife and daughter's condition in a series of Facebook posts. My wife fought back so that her daughter could live. But she can not see out of her eye still at all. And can't see or hold her baby until she recovers," he wrote. On the day of the attack Mrs Poole posted on her own Facebook page: "One week from today." The family had recently bought a new puppy but in the chaos following the attack the baby dog appears to have died because it was not tended to. Because the puppy was left alone to [sic] long she passed away. I don't know how to tell [my wife] that it's too much," he wrote. The Pooles' new puppy reportedly died after the attack (Facebook) From her hospital bed, Mrs Poole apparently asked her husband if he would stay with her despite injuries, asking if the loss os sight in one eye was a "deal breaker" for him. My wife is my wife til I'm no longer breathing. No man can change that and though I was not here to protect her this time it will never happen again that's my word. Mrs Poole is recovering and although she is still not able to walk she is now speaking and told KFOX14 their daughter was growing in strength but still sick from the strong emergency medicines given to her mother. "It means the world, just being able to see her and know that, through everything, she's doing just fine," Mrs Poole said.
