Overview

  • Michigan authorities have formally charged 42-year-old Bradford James Gille with one count of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder over the July 26 attack.
  • As of July 28, medical officials report all 11 victims are expected to survive and most have moved out of critical condition.
  • The FBI and Michigan State Police have joined the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office in an active investigation to determine Gille’s motive in the seemingly random stabbing spree.
  • A sheriff’s deputy, aided by Walmart customers and at least one armed bystander, subdued the suspect within minutes, preventing further injuries.
  • Free counseling services are now being offered at Northwestern Michigan College to support victims, store employees, residents and other community members.
