Overview

  • The Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who witnessed the July 26 stabbing, rendered first aid, or captured video to contact investigators.
  • Eleven people were wounded by 42-year-old Bradford James Gille, who was disarmed by bystanders before law enforcement arrived.
  • Five victims have been released from Munson Medical Center, four remain hospitalized in stable condition, and two have been transferred for ongoing care.
  • The FBI and Michigan State Police have joined the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office in probing Gille’s mental health history and possible domestic terrorism ties.
