MI Walmart Stabbing: Hospital Gives Update On Victims' Conditions

GARFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI — Health officials said Monday one person has been treated and released while multiple others were still hospitalized after 11 people were injured in a stabbing at a Walmart store in northern Michigan.

Munson health officials said one person remains in serious condition, five were in fair condition, two in good condition and two others have been treated and moved to another hospital.

Officials have not identified the victims, who range in age from 29 to 84 years old.

"We are deeply grateful to the dedicated team of physicians, nurses, surgeons, clinical staff and support personnel at Munson Healthcare. Their unwavering commitment to the care and recovery of those affected reflects the strength and unity of our healthcare community during this difficult time," health officials said in an update.

Bradford James Gille, 42, of Afton, was in custody at the Grand Traverse County jail on suspicion of one count of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder, according to the county sheriff’s office, which said Gille has a history of violent and drug-related incidents.

He is expected to be arraigned on his charges either Monday or Tuesday. He remains in the Grand Traverse County Jail.

The attack happened at 4:45 p.m. Saturday at the store in Garfield Township, which is just outside Traverse City, police said.

Police said Gille, acting alone, entered the store and used a 3.5-inch folding knife to stab 11 people. Police said he was at the store for about 30 minutes before he began randomly stabbing people with the blade.

By the time officers arrived at the store, civilians — one of whom was armed with a pistol — stopped Gille in the parking lot and kept him from leaving or hurting anyone else, police said.

A motive for the attack was still unknown.
