AlHijjah 3, 1435, Sep 27, 2014, SPA -- A man who was shot after he beheaded one woman and attacked another at an Oklahoma food processing plant from which he had just been fired has regained consciousness and has been interviewed by detectives, AP quoted the police as saying on Saturday. Alton Nolen, 30, remains hospitalized in stable condition following Thursday's attack at the Vaughan Foods plant in the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore, Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said. He said Nolen will be charged with first-degree murder and assault and battery with a deadly weapon, and that he may also face federal charges. "We've already interviewed him and charges will be filed on Monday," Lewis said. Lewis said Nolen was fired right before the attack, and that he then drove from the building that houses the company's human resources department to its main distribution center. Once inside, he attacked 54-year-old Colleen Hufford with a knife in the center's administrative office area, eventually severing her head, according to police. Nolen then repeatedly stabbed 43-year-old Traci Johnson before Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff's deputy and the company's chief operating officer, shot him. Johnson survived the attack and is also conscious, Lewis said, adding that she is listed in stable condition. "She is talking. We have interviewed her," Lewis said. Although the investigation is ongoing, Lewis said police learned Nolen was discharged from Vaughan Foods for "numerous reasons" involving "personnel issues," but that he didn't know the specifics. -- SPA 23:45 LOCAL TIME 20:45 GMT تغريد
