News Police: Woman beheaded at Oklahoma workplace

[brassmonkey]

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) ? A man fired from an Oklahoma food processing plant beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by a company official, police said Friday.

Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said police are waiting until Alton Nolen, 30, is conscious to arrest him in Thursday's attack and have asked the FBI to help investigate after co-workers at Vaughan Foods in the south Oklahoma City suburb told authorities that he recently started trying to convert several employees to Islam.

Nolen allegedly stabbed Colleen Hufford, 54, severing her head, Lewis said.

"Yes, she was beheaded," Lewis told The Associated Press before a Friday news conference.

Lewis said Nolen then allegedly stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, a number of times before Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff's deputy and the company's chief operating officer, shot him.

"This was not going to stop if he didn't stop it. It could have gotten a lot worse," Lewis said. "The threat had already stopped once we arrived."

Lewis said Moore police have asked the FBI to look into the man's background because of the nature of the attack, which follows a series of videotaped beheadings by Islamic State militants.

In a statement, FBI Special Agent in Charge James E. Finch said the motive for the attack has not been determined but that there is no reason to believe there is a threat to anyone else.

Johnson and the suspect were hospitalized and in stable condition Friday, Lewis said. He did not yet know what charges will be filed.

Oklahoma Department of Corrections records indicate Nolen has served time in prison and is on probation for assault and battery on a police officer. He also was convicted of cocaine possession with intent to distribute in 2011.

Corrections records show Nolen has multiple, apparently religious tattoos, including one referencing Jesus and one in Arabic that means "peace be with you."

Lewis said Nolen had been fired in a building that houses the company's human resources office, then immediately drove to the entrance of the business. Lewis said he didn't know why the man was fired.

The guy was fired and then immediately began killing and they don't know what his motive was.

Of course the fact that an armed employee saved the lives of other employees by putting a stop to his rampage won't matter to the brain dead types.

Would one have to be crazy to snap and kill someone they think took their livelihood away? Only humans get called crazy murderers when they use their instincts. That's just a general observation because I didn't bother to read the story.

Only wounded? He should have been destroyed while in the act.

In any event, a clear indication that gun ownership in the US should be preserved. I predict that these islamic extremist beheadings in the US are only going to get worse. This guy might not have been a terrorist, but he was clearly inspired by the recent news events.
