'Eleven is 11 too many, but thank God it wasn't more,' Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea told reporters.
'Based on the information that we have at this time, it appears they were random acts,' he said. 'The victims were not predetermined.'
The suspect, a Michigan resident, apparently acted alone, he said, adding that the weapon involved appeared to be a folding-style knife.
Emergency vehicles and uniformed first responders were seen outside the store following the incident.

3 arrested for alleged theft worth HK$80,000 on flight from India to Hong Kong
Hong Kong police have arrested three men for stealing property worth more than HK$80,000 (US$10,190) during a flight from India to the city. The force said on Tuesday that the arrests the previous day were made after police received reports from three Indian nationals who had flown to Hong Kong from the country. The victims placed their backpacks on the overhead rack of the cabin, and subsequently found that cash and other property were lost, prompting them to seek help from the force. Three mainland Chinese men aged between 47 and 58 were arrested and detained after a preliminary investigation. The trio had allegedly stolen a pair of bracelets worth HK$50,000 and Hong Kong dollars and foreign currency cash valued at HK$34,400 from the victims. The case is being investigated by a criminal intelligence and support team at the force's airport division.
