One Killed, One Injured in Oklahoma Beheading Attack

Early reports indicate that a disgruntled, recently fired employee has perpetrated a heinous attack at a company in Oklahoma. It also appears that the suspect was a proselyting Muslim. He was stopped by an off duty deputy that shot him before he could kill his second victim.

The FBI is now looking into Nolen’s 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.

The suspect arrested for this brutal attack and murder is 30 year old Alton Alexander Nolen:



“After conducting interviews with coworkers of Nolen information was obtained that he recently … started trying to convert some of his coworkers to the Muslim religion,” Moore Police Department officer Jeremy Lewis said during a press conference on Friday.

The female victim beheaded in this attack has been identified as 54-year-old Colleen Hufford.
