Michigan Walmart Stabbing: 11 People Injured In Stabbing

At least 11 people were injured during a stabbing spree at a Walmart store in Traverse City, Michigan, authorities reported. The suspect, a 42-year-old Michigan resident, was taken into custody shortly after the incident.

The Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it is investigating what they described as a “multiple stabbing incident” at the Walmart in Garfield Township, located roughly 255 miles (410 km) northwest of Detroit.

According to Sheriff Michael Shea, the attack began near the store’s checkout area at approximately 4:43 p.m. The suspect, armed with a folding knife, entered the store alone and randomly attacked shoppers. Law enforcement officials stated that the suspect acted alone and described the event as an apparent “random act.”

Bystanders in the store helped detain the attacker and provided first aid to the victims before emergency personnel arrived. Sheriff Shea praised the coordinated response from both citizens and first responders.

All 11 victims were transported to Munson Medical Center, where seven remain in fair condition and four are listed as serious, according to Munson Healthcare spokesperson Catherine Dewey.

The victims included six men and five women, he said. Three people were undergoing surgery, he said. He did not know the status of the other victims.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed her concern and offered support, stating she was in contact with law enforcement. “Our thoughts are with the victims and the entire community shaken by this horrific violence,” she said.

A motive for the attack is not yet known. Federal authorities, including the FBI, are assisting in the investigation, said FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
