Update: Bradford James Gille has been identified as the suspect in Saturday’s mass stabbing incident at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, that left 11 people injured. Gille was taken into custody within minutes of the attack, thanks to the quick action of bystanders at the scene. Gille appears to be a crazed criminal, who doesn’t appear to be a foreigner.
The victims ranged in age from 29 to 85. The hospital reports the victims are making good progress.
As of 2 p.m., two people are in serious condition, eight are in fair condition and one has since been released from the hospital, according to Munson Healthcare. On Saturday night, five were in serious condition and six were critical.

- He has a prior criminal history, including assault.
- Gilleyhas been charged with one count of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder.

No motive yet.
Update: Brave shoppers capture the knifer. The police said the victims were random with the information they have now. The knifer is a Michigan resident. He used a folding knife weapon. The police spokesperson wouldn’t comment on his legal status. The knifer and first responders were not hurt. The FBI is on the scene.
Early Reports Appear Way Off
Allegedly Foreign Terrorist Stabs 11 Victims
According to the report, a man armed with a knife suddenly began randomly attacking shoppers in multiple departments throughout the store, including the produce and grocery areas.
Terrified shoppers reportedly began running in all directions trying to escape the attacker. Two shoppers were finally able to subdue the suspect and hold him until police arrived and took him into custody.
One witness, Amber Paull, described the attacker as “a foreign guy.”
There are multiple victims, about 11.
Will we see IEDs next? It looks like what we see in Europe regularly.

And they would have been good with that. Are they going to start yammering about “common sense knife control”? “The police… Read more »
Common sense knife control means that no one could eat a meal using one.
Arm the settlers folks. Arm the settlers.
Stay strapped or get clapped. “guy pulled a hero move and pulled his pistol out and tried to get him to stop but then people screamed and workers said run so the guy slipped out in the crowd” The way you get an attacker to stop is to ventilate him with the wireless hole punch….Did he stop because the firearm… Read more »
