Authorities say a man wielding a folding knife stabbed 11 people near a checkout counter at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan.
Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea told reporters July 26 that the 42-year-old suspect was a Michigan resident and the attack appeared to be random, with a standard folding-style knife. Bystanders at the store helped subdue the suspect, he said.
“Based on the information that we have at this time, they were random acts,” Shea said.
He declined to offer further details about the suspect or possible motives until there was further investigation, which will be aided by the state police and the FBI. The attack happened sometime around 5 p.m. local time.
Munson Healthcare, a healthcare system in northern Michigan, said 11 people were being treated at its medical center.
