KY3 has a story: Suspect in custody after 11 people stabbed at Walmart in Michigan<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Eleven people were stabbed at a Walmart in Traverse City on Saturday \u2014 with six in critical condition \u2014 in what a Michigan sheriff said appeared to be a random act. A suspect was in custody, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Around 4:45 p.m., a 42-year-old man entered the store and used a folding knife to stab 11 people, the Grand Traverse County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a statement on social media. A sheriff\u2019s deputy arrived within minutes and took the man into custody, and people in the store also helped apprehend the suspect and treat victims, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

Shea said the weapon involved appeared to be a folding-style knife. Shea said the suspect is believed to be a Michigan resident but declined to share further details. Michigan State Police had said earlier in the day that the suspect was in authorities\u2019 custody.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If his name was Cletus McBobson, we’d have a mug shot. Since we do not, we can assume.<\/p>\n

And this story, picked up on a slow news night on our local affiliate’s Web site, will have no follow up to dissuade our assumptions about unnamed “Michiganders” who might start randomly knifing people in a crowded place. And our assumption is notably not Sensible knife control now!<\/em><\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/b><\/font> I stand corrected; this is apparently the work not of Cletus McBobson, but Bradford Gille<\/a>, which is not unlike Cletus McBobson. <\/p>\n

It looks like he’s getting charged with terrorism:<\/p>\n

Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg told reporters that the terrorism charge will be brought due to the fact that the attack impacted the community, rather than one individual.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not sure if that’s how I would define terrorism, but the prosecutor sure is being tough in this case. Would she be in all cases? Hopefully, time will not tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
