MOORE, Okla. Officials with the Moore Police Department say the FBI is now involved in the investigation related to a brutal attack of workers at a food distribution plant.
Sgt. Jeremy Lewis says the alleged suspect, 30-year-old Alton Nolen had just been fired when he drove to the front of the business, hit a vehicle and walked inside.
He walked into the front office area where he met 54-year-old Colleen Hufford and began attacking her with a knife.
Sgt. Lewis confirms the type of knife used in the attack is the same kind used at the plant.
Lewis confirms that Hufford was stabbed several times and that Nolen severed her head.
At that point, Lewis claims Nolen met 43-year-old Traci Johnson and began attacking her with the same knife.
Officials say at that point, Mark Vaughan, an Oklahoma County reserve deputy and a former CEO of the business, shot him as he was actively stabbing Johnson.
Hes a hero in this situation, Sgt. Lewis said, referring to Vaughan. It could have gotten a lot worse.
Authorities say it appears Nolen was attacking employees at random.
Johnson is in stable condition at a local hospital, recovering from her injuries.
The FBI is now looking into Nolens background after his former co-workers said he tried to convert them to Islam after recently converting himself.
Lewis says the FBI is working in conjunction with the Moore Police Department, especially when it comes to the religious aspect of the case.
At this time, it is not known if the suspects beliefs played a role in the attack.
Employees are back at work today.
Vaughan Foods released the following statement about the attack:
On behalf of everyone at Vaughan Foods, we are shocked and deeply saddened by the events of today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the team member we lost and all those affected. Our focus is on the safety and well-being of our employees. We will provide counseling and support for our team members and support each other through this difficult time. We are working with authorities on this active investigation and ask that you direct your questions to local law enforcement.

ORIGINAL STORY: Were learning more details about a brutal crime that left one woman dead and sent two other people to an Oklahoma hospital.
Around 4:05 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, authorities were called to N.E. 12th St. after receiving reports of a shooting or stabbing near a business.
Sgt. Jeremy Lewis, with the Moore Police Department, said it was not an active shooter situation but could confirm that an officer was involved in a shooting at the Vaughan Foods distribution warehouse.
Lewis says 30-year-old Alton Nolen attacked one woman inside the business, who later died from her injuries.
NewsChannel 4 has learned Nolen allegedly beheaded her following a workplace dispute.
The deceased victim has been identified as 54-year-old Colleen Hufford.
Police say he also tried to kill another woman, officials say.
Sgt. Lewis says Nolen was attacking another woman when an off-duty sheriffs deputy, who was also the former CEO of the business, shot him multiple times with a rifle.
Nolen and the second victim were taken to OU Medical Center in critical condition.
Authorities say Nolen has no relation to the victims.
There were as many as 300 workers inside of the warehouse at the time of the incident.
Makes me feel good about CCWing.
I am so sorry for the innocent victims of workplace violence!
Thank God someone was there who didn't need to "shelter in place."
Obama says he does not want law enforcement to use religion as an identifying tool, and yet it just seems to creep in, dudn’t it?
“...who later died from her injuries.”
“NewsChannel 4 has learned Nolen allegedly beheaded her following a workplace dispute.”
Beheadings are usually fatal.
That is the real story.
Dammit. Now that EinReich WithHolder's FBI is involved, the Muslim connection will be surpressed, and this will be deemed a 'workplace accident'.
This is making news because of ISIS, beheadings in America have been happening for a while by recent converts to Islam (it is just not politically correct to put it in the news.)
The Ironic thing is there’s been a bit of a dust up in the local OK press recently about remarks by a local republican rep. He said in a public forum of some type some pretty reasonable, straight forward things about Islam that are as wildly politically correct as they are obvious (Islam = murderous violence, keep an eye on a muslim, e.g.)
Well, good heavens, you would have thought the man was calling for gas chambers. The local CAIR group and every possible leftist “civil right” group gathered to denounce him as a h8r and inform us again that Islam is peaceful. Even our local OKC paper which is pretty conservative sadly sided with the leftist without considering the mountains of evidence.
Then on cue we have an Eric Holder workplace accident which only reinforces everything the OK rep was trying to impart.
Heh.
Good guy with a gun stops terrorist in his tracks!
It’s not Islam. Islamobama told us so.
How the hell do you 'allegedly behead' someone?
Either their head is attached or it is not.
Congrats to the reserve police officer.
OBAMA WILL PRESENT THIS CASE TO THE UNITED NATIONS AS ANOTHER PROOF OF OUR FAILURE FOR NOT CONVERTING TO THE RELIGION OF PEACE.
ISLAM IS NOT, AND NEVER HAS BEEN, A RELIGION OF PEACE.
Of course, that’s not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.. . “Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel.” — Leon Uris, “The Haj”
As Byzantine emperor Manuel II Palaiologos, one of the last Christian rulers before the fall of Constantinople to the Muslim Ottoman Empire, in a dialogue with a Persian Muslim scholar, he asked:
Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.
better start being clear that we need to defend our faith and our way of life. Lest we loose them.
Oh, I think Real Americans figured out what Islam “is”, a long time ago...
The Koran demands perpetual war against all who deny Mahomet as the prophet of God” - John Quincy Adams
“Treachery and violence are taught as principles of Mohamet’s religion” - John Quincy Adams
“While the merciless dogmas of Muhammad remain there can never be peace upon earth” - John Quincy Adams
WINSTON CHURCHILL ON ISLAM
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome Sir Winston Churchill; (Source: The River War, first edition, Vol II, pages 248-250 London).Churchill saw it coming
Monsignor Walter Brandmüller, president of the Vatican Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences.
Islam is destined to remain unchanged in the future, as it has been until now, the only possible outcome is a difficult coexistence with those who do not belong to the Muslim community: in an Islamic country, in fact, the non-Muslim must submit to the Islamic system, if he does not wish to live in a situation of substantial intolerance. Likewise, on account of this all-embracing conception of religion and political authority, the Muslim will have great difficulty in adapting to the civil laws in non-Islamic countries, seeing them as something foreign to his upbringing and to the dictates of his religion. Perhaps one should ask oneself if the well-attested difficulties persons coming from the Islamic world have with integrating into the social and cultural life of the West are not explained in part by this problematic situation. We must also recognize the natural right of every society to defend its own cultural, religious, and political identity. It seems to me that this is precisely what Pope Saint Pius V did. (Christianity and Islam in History by Monsignor Walter Brandmüller, president of the Vatican Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences.)
THE ISLAMIC STATE IN IRAQ
Islam is as much a religion of peace and tolerance today as it has been since its foundation by Muhammad in the 8th century.
MUSLIMS MASSACRE CHRISTIANS IN NIGERIA

OF OUR FAILURES FOR NO CONVERTING TO THE RELIGION OF PEACE.
feral negroes + islam = what could go wrong?
Black muslims have been a festering cancer in this country for over 50 years. Expect more of this.
The Democrates just voted to NOT rescind citizenship for returning isis...could be a lot more of this coming.
FBI angle might be to see why he was fired and whether his civil rights were violated simply because he is a Muslim.
