A woman was killed in a beheading at a suburban Oklahoma City food processing plant on Friday and police said the suspect is a man who had just been fired.
The Associated Press reported Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis as saying the suspect, who had not been charged, had been fired from Vaughan Foods.
Lewis said the man entered the plant and stabbed 54-year-old Colleen Hufford, severing her head. Lewis said the man then started to stab 43-year-old Traci Johnson.
Vaughan Foods chief operating officer and reserve county officer Mark Vaughan stopped the assault by shooting the suspect. The suspect and Johnson were taken to the hospital and Lewis said they are in stable condition.
Lewis says Moore police have asked the FBI to aid in the investigation and look into the suspect's background.
