5 victims in Traverse City Walmart stabbing attack released from hospital
Five of the 11 people injured in a stabbing attack at a Traverse City, Michigan, Walmart on July 26 have been treated and released from the hospital, health system officials said Friday. In addition to the five released, four patients are in good condition, and two others have been treated and transferred, according to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, which has been providing medical care. The victims range in age from 29 to 84 years old. "We continue to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the incredible physicians, nurses, surgeons, clinical professionals, and support staff across Munson Healthcare. Their unwavering commitment to care and recovery during this difficult time reflects the strength of our healthcare community," the hospital system said in a statement Friday. "Our thoughts are with all those affected and their loved ones. We stand beside them and remain focused on supporting the health and well-being of everyone in our region." Bradford James Gille, 42, of Afton, Michigan, is accused of using a folding knife with a 3.5-inch blade to attack five men and six women, including one store employee, during the late afternoon hours of July 26. Gille is charged with terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder. He was arraigned on July 28 in the 86th District Court and pleaded not guilty. Gille has a history of mental illness and a criminal record that includes assault and malicious destruction of property, according to Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg. Authorities are still working to determine a motive behind the attack. The store, where the attack occurred in northwest Michigan, reopened Wednesday morning.

Third man charged in teen's ‘17 drug robbery death
As Anthony Triplett was set to get out of prison for killing a 14-year-old boy, charges were unsealed July 21 for a different criminal case for Diego Serna's Nov. 2, 2017 death in Gary's Miller section. Triplett, 27, of Gary, is the third man charged in Serna's killing. The case has been delayed for years. He has pleaded not guilty. His next hearing is Sept. 11. Against his better instincts, a 20-year-old man went to a Gary apartment complex on Nov. 2, 2017, to sell 1.5 ounces of marijuana to Augustus 'Gus' Johnson, his then-Hammond Walmart co-worker, charges allege. It was a setup. The man ended up seriously wounded and his friend, Serna, 16, of Hammond, was killed. Gary Police responded to the Marquette Apartments, 405 South Huntington St. They found Serna, who appeared lifeless, on his stomach. The marijuana dealer survived. Johnson, now 48, is awaiting sentencing after signing a plea deal in 2021. At various points, prosecutors filed to squash the deal, then go forward with it. He told police that he, another Walmart co-worker, Triplett, talked about robbing the dealer months earlier. That evening, they picked up co-defendant Marcell Ellison in East Chicago. At the Gary apartments, as the marijuana dealer approached Johnson's car, Triplett came up behind him and fired four shots, charges state. Ellison also fired shots toward the man. Johnson told police he was the getaway driver. Ellison's trial is set in November. The case was further complicated after the original detective got indicted in a federal child porn case. It has since been reassigned to a different investigator. Former Gary Police Det. James Bond, 52, of Crown Point, a former deputy chief, commander and homicide supervisor, was indicted in September 2024 after soliciting an explicit video from a 17-year-old boy working as a city intern in the police department last summer. Investigators found a latent cached screenshot on his iPhone. Triplett was sentenced in December 2021 for killing 14-year-old Arion Lilly, who was shot in the back after leaving a barber shop, lawyers said. Triplett said he was fleeing another car shooting at him and didn't mean to hit the boy.

Armed hero who confronted ‘wild-eyed' Walmart stabbing suspect describes how he ‘de-escalated the situation' without firing gun
An armed hero who confronted the 'wild-eyed' suspect of a mass stabbing at Walmart kept his cool despite bystanders urging him to open fire — declaring in a new interview he's no 'judge, jury or executioner.' Marine veteran Derrick Perry, in a Tuesday appearance on ABC's 'Good Morning America,' described the chaos that enveloped the Traverse City superstore Saturday when 11 people were allegedly knifed by Bradford James Gille. 'A lady was screaming for her son and all the employees and patrons were clamoring, trying to run in different directions,' Perry recalled. 8 Marine veteran Derrick Perry confronted the mass shooting suspect at a Walmart in Traverse City, Mich. on July 26, 2025. X/ImMeme0 8 Perry held suspect Bradford James Gille at Gunpoint in the parking lot. X/paige29863 When Gille fled out to the parking lot, Perry, along with others, dropped his groceries and surrounded the alleged attacker. Perry, a hospital worker, pulled out his gun, but did not shoot Gille — even though he said others were calling on him to pull the trigger. 'Unfortunately, there was kinda like a mob mentality and some very disturbing things were being said on how to deal with the situation,' Perry said. 'I had to block all of that out and focus on him [Gille] because … I ultimately just wanted him to put the knife down and back away until law enforcement got there,' he went on. 8 Gille allegedly stabbed 11 people in the Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan. 8 The knife Gille allegedly used in the attack. Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Office via AP 'I did not see myself as any type of judge, jury or executioner. I just wanted everyone to be safe.' Gille was rambling and appeared out of his mind, Perry recalled. 'I could see it in his eyes that he was wild-eyed and he did not look like he was in his right mind,' he said. 'And he was saying, 'They told me to do it. They told me to do it. And call 911.' 'I said they are on their way. They are coming,' said Perry, who described how he worked to de-escalate the situation. 8 Perry ignored calls from bystanders to shoot Gille before police arrived. Chris O'Brien via Storyful 8 A victim of the stabbing spree seen in the parking lot of the Michigan Walmart. Chris O'Brien via Storyful 'I took time to actually look and listen and try to understand his mind state, and see that, yes, I am in a position to do something very rash, but it's ultimately my decision to not do it as well,' he said. 'De-escalate the situation, try to get him to surrender on his own accord.' Despite his brave actions, which ensured that Gille was taken into custody without incident and with no further injuries, Perry doesn't consider himself a hero. 8 Gille getting arrested by a law enforcement officer.

Jan-Michael Stump/Traverse City Record-Eagle via AP 'The only thing that separated me from the other gentlemen that had stepped in as well was what I was carrying in my hands,' he said. 'I think I would have ran out there or walked out there and helped either way. It was just a moment of, 'I got a duty to protect.'' Gille was arrested and arraigned on one count of felony terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder in Grand Traverse County District Court on Monday. He is due in court again on Aug. 6.
