After Nolen was fired, he drove his vehicle from the human resources building to the front office where he attacked both women with a knife that was regularly used by employees at the food plant, according to local police. He stabbed Hufford with the knife and severed her head.
He then stabbed Johnson multiple times, before he was shot by the company's chief operating officer, Mark Vaughan, who is also a reserve sheriff's deputy, according to reports.
Both Johnson and Nolen were taken to the hospital and are in a stable condition.
Nolen was a production line employee at the plant. He "became angry" after being fired and picked his victims at random because they were in his way, police said.
Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said that Vaughan saved Traci Johnson's life. He said, "This guy was definitely not going to stop. He didn't stop until he was shot."
In a statement, Vaughan Foods said, they are "shocked and deeply saddened" by the incident.
