A knife-wielding man barged into an Oklahoma food distribution plant and stabbed two workers - one fatally - before an off-duty cop took down the attacker.
Alton Nolen beheaded a woman at Moore's Vaughan Foods, CNN reported, and tried to kill another during the Thursday afternoon attack.
Moore police would not immediately confirm the attack as a beheading.
Officials told CNN there was no immediate link to terrorism.
Police said the 30-year-old drove to the warehouse around 4:30 p.m. and attacked the first two people he could find.
An off-duty cop working as a security officer at the warehouse shot Nolen, ending the suspected stabber's rampage. He was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive.

The second victim is also at a local hospital in critical condition, Oklahoma City's News 9 reported.
Police called the attack an act of workplace violence but did not confirm if Nolen worked at the plant.
Nolen has a long history with police starting in 2011.
He was previous arrested on a slew of charges, including possession of a controlled substance, assault and battery on a police officer and escape from detention.
