I have seen this coming now for about two years. The poor, and I mean a lot of poor....are running out of food for themselves and especially for their children. I have a funny feeling that there are going to be food riots in the not to distant future.

According to police, 30-year-old Alton Nolen entered the warehouse and stabbed the first two people he came in contact with. One female victim died at the scene, and the other was transported in critical condition. Nolen was then shot multiple times by an off-duty deputy who works security at the plant.

Oklahoma Department of Corrections online records show Nolen's criminal history dates back to 2011, including possession of a controlled substance, escape from detention and assault and battery on a police officer.

I understand where you're coming from, but I really think this falls in the category of "unhinged man with a knife."

A man suspected of beheading a woman and stabbing another worker at an Oklahoma food plant was fired right before the attack, police said Friday.

Alton Alexander Nolen, 30, was terminated from his job at Vaughan Foods processing plant just before the rampage Thursday afternoon in Moore, Oklahoma, just outside Oklahoma City, said Sgt. Jeremy Lewis of the Moore Police Department.

After "he was terminated, he drove to the front of the business, running into a vehicle, exited his vehicle, entered the business, where he encountered the first victim, Colleen Hufford, 54, and began assaulting her with a knife. He did kill Colleen and he did sever her head."

A second woman, identified as 43-year-old Traci Johnson, survived the attack, thanks to the intervention of another co-worker -- the company's chief operating officer Mark Vaughan, an Oklahoma County reserve deputy -- who shot and wounded Nolen.
