Official: Oklahoma suspect watched beheading videos

Charges are expected for the man accused of beheading a woman in the United States. This brutal attack took place not on the battlegrounds of Syria, but in Oklahoma.

Officials say the suspect, Alton Nolen, found out he was losing his job at a food processing plant. Leading up to the attack, Nolen converted to Islam and his views turned extreme, some of which he posted on Facebook. A law enforcement official tells CNN Nolen watched beheading videos, but it is unclear if those were ISIS-related.

David Mattingly is OutFront from Moore, Oklahoma.
