A man recently decapitated one female worker and stabbed another before he was shot and wounded by the boss in Oklahoma, after being sacked at the work, it has been reported.
Police stated that Alton Nolen was "angry" after losing his job when he launched into a knife rampage at Vaughan Foods in Moore, Sky News reported.
Mark Vaughn, chief operating officer of the business and also a reserve police officer, was hailed as a hero after he shot the 30-year-old suspect while he was stabbing the second woman.
Jeremy Lewis, police spokesman, said in a press conference that Nolen recently started trying to convert several employees to the Muslim religion; however, it was not clear if his beliefs had any link to the attack.
