It had been a quiet Mother’s Day afternoon at the Harvest Market Thriftway in Estacada, Ore., until Joshua Lee Webb barged into the neighborhood grocery store, covered in blood, according to police.
In one hand, the 36-year-old man held a kitchen knife, police said.
In the other, they said, he held a severed human head.
As terrified customers ran out of the store and called 911, Webb charged a storeclerk, stabbing him multiple times, police said. Store employees quickly wrestled the knife away from him and pinned him down until police arrived.
Around the same time, police responded to a 911 call in the nearby town of Colton, Ore. A woman lay dead inside her home, the caller told police.
It didn’t take long for investigators to link the two reports. The dead woman was Webb’s mother. The severed head in his hand was hers, police said.
After investigations by multiple law enforcement agencies, Webb on Monday was charged with the murder of his mother, 59-year-old Tina Marie Webb, and the attempted murder of the clerk, 66-year-old Michael Wagner.
Webbwas booked into the Clackamas County Jail, where he remained as of Tuesday morning. It was not clear if he had been assigned an attorney.
Wagner was admitted to the hospital and was expected to recover, local media reported.
Police said Webb lived with his parents in Colton, a rural community about 40 miles south of Portland. At some point on Sunday afternoon, he killed his mother, police said, without providing further details.

And not one peep of outrage or condemnation from leaders of the white community.
