WATCH: Chilling Surveillance Video Shows 42-Year-Old Bradford Gille Stabbing Innocent Shoppers at a Traverse City Walmart
Newly released surveillance footage captures the moment 42-year-old Bradford James Gille of Afton, Michigan, carried out a stabbing attack inside a Walmart in Traverse City last month, injuring 11 people.
Gille has been formally charged with one count of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder, according to officials. Authorities say the charges reflect the random and violent nature of the incident, and investigators are treating it as a potential act of domestic terrorism.
The attack began near a checkout area, where Gille, armed with a 3½-inch folding knife, allegedly began targeting victims at random. Among those injured were both men and women, including one Walmart employee.
Cell phone video from witnesses shows several bystanders confronting Gille in the store’s parking lot. One armed civilian helped detain the suspect until police arrived, just minutes after the first 911 calls.
The Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office identified the victims as:
-
An 84-year-old woman
-
An 82-year-old man
-
An 80-year-old woman
-
A 70-year-old man
-
A 67-year-old woman
-
A 65-year-old woman
-
A 55-year-old man
-
A 40-year-old man
-
A 39-year-old man
-
A 38-year-old man
-
A 29-year-old woman
All of the victims survived the attack. The investigation remains ongoing.
