Oklahoma Beheading Suspect Interviewed By Police After Regaining Consciousness

Alton Nolen, 30, is the primary suspect in the beheading a 54-year-old woman at a food processing plant in Oklahoma.

He was shot by Mark Vaughan, former CEO of the company, after the beheading when he began to attack another person in the food processing plant. He recently regained consciousness in the hospital, and was interviewed by detectives.

Although Nolen was interviewed on Friday by the detectives, the police have not released what he has said yet.

According to Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis, Nolen was fired from the Oklahoma food processing plant right before the attack. Nolen had recently converted to Islam, and had also tried to convert several other employees of the food processing plant to the religion.

There was speculation that this beheading was linked with terrorism and ISIS. However, United States law enforcement officials found no link with terrorism. Many Islamic communities have denounced Nolen’s act as well.

“The Islamic Community of Oklahoma has consistently condemned all violence — most especially acts of violence ostensibly carried out in the name of Islam. Along with our Muslim brothers and sisters we affirm that true Islam is, in fact, a religion of peace and that those inflicting violence in the name of Islam are perverting Islam for their own ends.”

According to the police, once Nolen lost his job he walked right out of the office and attacked one of the first people he saw. After he decapitated 54-year-old Colleen Hufford, he repeatedly stabbed 43-year-old Traci Johnson until he was shot. Traci Johnson is now in a stable condition at a hospital and was treated for multiple wounds from the stabbing.

Unfortunately there was a attack by ISIS sympathizers on students from Istanbul University. According to a report by The Inquisitr, students from Istanbul University decided to protest the ISIS brutality that was happening in the Middle East when ISIS sympathizers came out and began to attack them with wooden sticks studded with sharp nails.

The students released a press statement about the attack that said, “As university students, we had come together to stop the murderers with blood on their hands and the ISIL gang, which has murdered children and raped women in Rojava and Kobane, when a 20-person group sporting black masks attacked us with sticks studded with nails.”

This isn’t the first time Alton Nolen had committed a crime. He had been incarcerated before on charges of marijuana and cocaine possession.
