It appears the head cutting disease has reached deep into America...stopped by an armed citizen

Police: Woman beheaded at Oklahoma workplace

MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Police said Friday a man recently fired from a food processing plant in an Oklahoma City suburb beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by the owner of the company.
The 30-year-old man, who has not been charged, stabbed Colleen Hufford, 54, severing her head in Thursday's attack at Vaughan Foods, Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said.
Lewis said the man then stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, a number of times before being shot by Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff's deputy and the company's chief operating officer.
"This was not going to stop if he didn't stop it. It could have gotten a lot worse," Lewis said.
Lewis said the suspect had been fired in a building that houses the company's human resources office, then immediately drove to the entrance of the business.
The man attacked Hufford with a knife, severing her head and killing her, then stabbed Johnson until being shot by Vaughan.
Lewis said he didn't know why the man was fired.
A Vaughan spokeswoman said the company was "shocked and deeply saddened" by the attack.
Johnson and the suspect are in stable condition Friday at hospitals, Lewis said.
Moore police have asked the FBI to aid in the investigation and look into the man's background because of the nature of the attack, Lewis said.
