Overview

  • Bradford James Gille was arraigned on one count of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder; bail was set at $100,000 and hearings are scheduled for early August.
  • All 11 victims, aged 21 to 84, are expected to survive and have been classified in fair condition or better by Munson Healthcare, with several already discharged.
  • Former Marines Derrick Perry and Matthew Kolakowski played key roles in subduing Gille, with Perry holding him at gunpoint and Kolakowski using a shopping cart to stop the attack.
  • Investigators are examining Gille’s long-standing schizophrenia, prior involuntary hospitalizations and unfilled protective-custody orders to identify gaps in mental-health oversight.
  • Praise from public officials and advocacy groups has fueled discussion over civilian intervention and gun rights during emergencies.
