ESTACADA, Ore. – A man is in custody after police received reports that he walked into an Estacada store covered in blood, holding a knife and "what looked like a human head," homicide investigators from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said.
Law enforcement was called out about 2:15 p.m. on reports of a death at the Harvest Market Thriftway store on North Broadway. A short time later, someone called to say that a man had stabbed an employee and that others were holding the man down.
At about 2:30 p.m., the sheriff's office received reports that a woman was found dead at a home on Elwood Road in Colton.
Deputies said the death under investigation at the store "actually happened" at the Colton home. They did not specify whether the initial reports of the suspect holding a severed head were, in fact, confirmed.
The injured employee was flown to the hospital in an air ambulance. No word on his or her current condition.
The suspect was taken into custody at the scene and transported to a nearby hospital for an evaluation. Investigators said they will release the names of those involved as the case develops.
Fire officials are asking the public to avoid the area.
This is a developing story; updates will be posted as information comes in.
Are any of you aware of any particular culture that lops off people’s heads, just because?
NASA Employees ? (the new kind)
Any wagers that the locals will be told NOT to mention that the killer was a Muslim-if he is? Surly this had nothing to do with Islam— Probably was a racist ,white Christian did it.
Could be a drug addled punk or psychotic homeless bum. Last year a drugged up punk jumped through a picture window and ate the face off an occupant.
Hmmm! No description of the suspect!
What religion has its followers stab others and cut off the heads of others?
Price check?....................
Muslims and Mexican drug cartels come to mind immediately.
It could be muzzies, or it could be drugs.
Drugs cause terrible things
No. But I know of a religion that lops peoples heads off in order to terrorize unbelievers into submission.
It may not be Jihad but it fits the instructions the Islamic State has been sending to its followers. The longer officials wait to release information on the perpetrator, the more likely it is Jihad
The guy who got arrested might be come famous - but he won’t let it go to his head.
