Traverse City Walmart Stabbing: Suspect's History Revealed

Bradford James Gille, a mentally ill and homeless man with a long history of criminal charges linked to poor mental health, is accused of stabbing 11 people at random in a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan. The attack was stopped in the parking lot by bystanders, including former Marine Derrick Perry and veteran Matthew Kolakowski, who used shopping carts and a legally carried firearm to restrain Gille until police arrived. Witnesses reported that Gille appeared 'wild-eyed' and claimed voices told him to attack. The victims, aged 29 to 84, include several still hospitalized, but all are expected to recover. Authorities have praised the bystanders' quick and courageous response, which likely prevented further harm. Gille faces 11 counts of assault with intent to murder and one count of terrorism, with his next court appearance set for August 6.
