Police are investigating the beheading of a woman at an Oklahoma company by a man who had been trying to convert co-workers to Islam after recently converting himself, according to a local TV news report.

Police in Moore, Oklahoma, said Thursday the suspect, Alton Nolen, who had been fired from his job at a food processing plant, attacked a woman with a knife and beheaded her, KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City reported. He then attacked another employee and was stopped when he was shot and wounded by the company owner.

Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said the 30-year-old suspect “stabbed Colleen Hufford, 54, severing her head.”

Mark Vaughan, a former CEO of the business, was being praised for shooting the suspect after he allegedly attacked the second worker, Traci Johnson, 43, with the same knife.

According to an AP report, Lewis said Vaughn was “a hero in this situation.”

“It could have gotten a lot worse.”

Investigators said the FBI was looking into Nolen’s background after his former co-workers said he tried to convert them to Islam after recently converting himself.

A statement from Vaughan Foods said: “On behalf of everyone at Vaughan Foods, we are shocked and deeply saddened by the events of today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the team member we lost and all those affected. Our focus is on the safety and well-being of our employees. We will provide counseling and support for our team members and support each other through this difficult time. We are working with authorities on this active investigation and ask that you direct your questions to local law enforcement.”

The 9-1-1 tapes recorded gunshots as callers reported the stabbing.

The dispatcher told responding officers, “Units responding to Vaughan Foods, be advised we do now have gunshots.”

Beheadings by Muslims have been in the news in recent weeks. ISIS jihadists in Iraq and Syria have beheaded four victims, including two American journalists.

 At the Spectator in the U.K. , Douglas Murray commented that one part of the reason Muslim jihadists choose beheading,” if not the major part – is the fact that the Quran has verses telling believers, in certain circumstances, that this is the appropriate way to kill those who are not Muslim.”

“Is this not an important point? What about the fact that the founder of Islam himself engaged in such acts? There will be those who say I am making this up, so I suppose I ought to refer people to the sources.”
