   The FBI is investigating an outbreak of Islamic State-like   
   terror in the heartland after a recently-fired Oklahoma man   
   stormed into a food plant and savagely beheaded a former co-   
   worker.   
      
   Alton Nolen also stabbed and critically injured another woman   
   before he was shot and wounded by a company executive who is   
   also an Oklahoma County reserve deputy.   
      
   The G-men were called after workers at Vaughan Foods in Moore,   
   Okla. reported the Nolen recently converted to Islam and had   
   been trying to convert others, local media reported Friday.   
      
   There was no evidence that Nolen’s new-found faith figured in   
   the grisly attack, but the beheading was a brutal reminder of   
   the recent ISIS executions of two U.S. journalists and a British   
   aid worker.   
      
   “This suspect was angry about some sort of incident that   
   happened at the business,” Sgt. Jeremy Lewis of the Moore Police   
   Department said. “These women really had nothing to do with   
   that. He was just acting out against them. They are the first   
   people he came in contact with.”   
      
   Nolen, 30, went on a rampage not long after he was fired, Lewis   
   said.   
      
   Around 4 p.m. Thursday, Nolen arrived back at the plant,   
   clipping a car with his SUV, and barged into the front office   
   where he attacked the first person he encountered — 54-year-old   
   Colleen Hufford.   
      
   With a knife, Nolen stabbed the poor woman in the neck so hard   
   he severed her head, Lewis said.   
      
   Then Nolen went after 43-year-old Traci Johnson, stabbing her   
   repeatedly with the same knife.   
      
   Alerted by the screams, Vaughn Foods chief operating officer   
   Mark Vaughn shot Nolen and ended his rampage.   
      
   “He’s a hero in this situation,” Lewis said. “It could have   
   gotten a lot worse.”   
      
   Nolen did not know either victim.   
      
   “They just happened to be in his way as he came in upset," Lewis   
   said.   
      
   Nolen was taken to a nearby hospital and expected to survive,   
   police said. He has not yet been charged with a crime.   
      
   Johnson was in stable condition and also expected to recover.   
      
   It’s not clear how long Nolen worked at the factory or why he   
   was fired. But he has had several run-ins with the law since   
   2011.   
      
   Among other things, Nolen’s rap sheet includes arrests for   
   possession of a controlled substance, assault and battery on a   
   police officer, and escape from detention.   
      
   The plant re-opened Friday and most of the 300 workers were back   
   at their jobs.   
      
   “We are working with authorities on this active investigation   
   and ask that you direct your questions to local law   
   enforcement,” Vaughn Foods said in a statement.   
      
   Moore is no stranger to tragedy. Last year, large swath of the   
   this town of 57,000 residents were levelled by a massive tornado   
   and 24 people were killed.

   If Nolen is expected to survive, then the officer did not use   
   enough bullets.

   Despite what you want, I'm sure the family may like to know why   
   this guy did what he did, they may want some answers.   
   Regardless if he's shot, he's going to die anyway.

   You're such a hack, trotting out that 'there's your religion of   
   peace for ya' routine.  As for it being the 'Muslim Kool Aid'   
   let's not forget that there isn't a religion on the planet that   
   doesn't or hasn't done this nonsense.  The guy was clearly   
   mentally ill but in this day and age, it's much more fun and   
   easy to blame it on Islam and then never have a solution for   
   what the problem is.  It's a simpletons mentality.
