Woman Beheaded in Oklahoma
The story itself is somewhat gruesome but the reason I'm posting it is to point out something the media does that just annoys the crap out of me. They constantly try to spin any armed citizen that uses a gun to save themselves or someone else into a cop ... because only the police with their apparently "special forces level" of training can be trusted to use guns defensively (or at the least we can continue with the lie that "regular civilians" are incompetent/incapable boobs that can't defend themselves but the magic Po-po are godlike creatures that can handle the awesome power and responsibility of arms).

Police: Woman beheaded at Oklahoma workplace
Associated Press • Updated: September 26, 2014 at 10:16 am
MOORE, Okla. — Police said Friday a man recently fired from a food processing plant in an Oklahoma City suburb beheaded a woman with a knife and was attacking another worker when he was shot and wounded by the owner of the company.
The 30-year-old man, who has not been charged, stabbed Colleen Hufford, 54, severing her head in Thursday's attack at Vaughan Foods, Moore Police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said.
Lewis said the man then stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, a number of times before being shot by Mark Vaughan, a reserve sheriff's deputy and the company's chief operating officer.
"This was not going to stop if he didn't stop it. It could have gotten a lot worse," Lewis said.
Lewis said the suspect had been fired in a building that houses the company's human resources office, then immediately drove to the entrance of the business. Lewis said he didn't know why the man was fired.
Johnson and the suspect were hospitalized and in stable condition Friday, Lewis said.
Lewis said he does not yet know what charges will be filed, adding that police are waiting until the man is conscious to arrest him. Moore police have asked the FBI to aid in the investigation and look into the man's background because of the nature of the attack, Lewis said.
A Vaughan spokeswoman said the company was "shocked and deeply saddened" by the attack.
It would be just as germane to say; "Lewis said the man then stabbed Traci Johnson, 43, a number of times before being shot by Mark Vaughan, a Boy Scout Leader and the company's chief operating officer."
Also, they're not releasing the name of the beheadder ... so one has wonder if this is because he's a practitioner of the Religion of Peace?
