Man Beheads Woman At Food-Processing Plant

Alton Nolen, 30, decapitated one woman before he was shot by another employee at Vaughan Foods while actively stabbing a second woman.

The man who shot Nolen was an off-duty reserve police officer, Mark Vaughn, who was chief operating officer at the business.

Moore Police spokesman Jeremy Lewis said the suspect "recently started trying to convert some of his co-workers to the Muslim faith".

However, it is not clear if his beliefs played any role in the attack. The FBI is also investigating the incident.

Authorities say it appears Nolen attacked the workers at random.

Police said the attack began when Nolen went to the car park and drove his vehicle to the front of the warehouse where he hit another car. 

He then walked through the main entrance and began his rampage.

The first victim was identified as 54-year-old Colleen Hufford.

Mr Lewis told Friday morning's press conference: "He did kill Colleen and he did sever her head."

Nolen and the second victim, 43-year-old Traci Johnson, are both in a stable condition in hospital, said police.

Mr Lewis said Mr Vaughn was a "hero" for shooting Nolen.

"It could have gotten a lot worse," he added. "This guy (Nolen) was definitely not going to stop."

There were said to be several hundred employees inside the warehouse at the time of the attack.

According to the state department of corrections, Nolen was convicted in 2011 of marijuana possession, intent to distribute cocaine, escape from detention and assault on a police officer.
