Bradford James Gille, 42, is suspected of traveling from his home nearly 100 miles away to perpetrate the stabbing attack at the Walmart store in Garfield Township, just outside of Traverse City. He is slated to be arraigned soon on criminal charges that include attempted murder and terrorism.

Suspect had long history of mental health issues and was charged in a grave mutilation case in 2017. He also had run-ins with police at least twice this year.
