FBI looking into Moore beheading after suspect tried to convert others to Islam
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.
“He’s a hero in this situation,” Sgt. Lewis said, referring to Vaughan. “It could have gotten a lot worse.”

They're lucky there was a guy with a gun there to stop the Islamist.
This is definitely a tragedy. I wonder if they'll find he had ties to an Jihadist group, or if he was just a run-of-the-mill militant Muslim. Perhaps the USA will need to ban assault knives?
With the FBI still investigating, it's too soon to be certain of anything except the Muslim man was surely deranged.
