Can’t Even Shop at Walmart

By the time an employee in the checkout area yelled about a man with a knife, it was too late. Nearly a dozen people had been stabbed at the busy Walmart in Traverse City, a tourist town on the shore of Lake Michigan, by a man who appeared to have attacked people at random, the sheriff said. The suspect, 42-year-old Bradford James Gille of Afton, Michigan, used a foldable knife stabbing people. All the victims – who are between the ages of 29 and 84 – are expected to survive; one was treated and released from the hospital, two are in serious condition. I mean they went to shop for groceries and wound up being stabbed. The hero was a former Marine who helped subdue and catch this man.

Thank goodness all the victims are expected to survive, and that former Marine stepped in.

@sw8sincere it should not have happened and a mentally ill guy should not have been walking about

There is too much of this happening in our country...stabbings, shootings, driving into a crowd. Something is seriously wrong.

@LindaOHio people who are mentally ill have no one to help them or to diagnose their illness

There are a lot of people with mental health issues in the US... Something needs to be done about it but nobody is taking it seriously.

@rakski you should not have to worry about being stabbed when you are just going grocery shopping

It is a shame that even going to shop at Wal-Mart can be deadly.

It's almost as terrible as people including kids queuing up for food in Gaza and getting shot by the IDF. Just as well there was a former marine there to catch and subdue the guy

That is very frightening, and to think that Traverse City is a 'decent' city in that state. There is one store that I wouldn't shop in again, due to their lack of security.
